The paper analyzes the possibility of using larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illuscens L.) for the destruction of organic food waste of various origins. The results show that the best indicators of vitality, feeding activity, and biomass growth of black soldier fly larvae were observed in the variant when the larvae were fed on an organic waste of plant origin (vegetable residues). In the option of feeding on a waste of animal origin (food scraps), high indicators of larval biomass growth were also noted. An important advantage of this method of biodestruction is the rapid increase in the biomass of black soldier fly larvae depending on the type of food substrate. The results of the research emphasize the significant practical potential of studying the biological and ecological features of Hermetia illucens, as well as the prospects of using the biodestruction method to solve environmental problems related to environmental pollution with household waste.
