The "Harvey Peterson Medium" from the website I mentioned above is what I use. It never seems to spoil. I suspect either the yeast or the fruit flies secrete some antibiotics that prevent decay. It does have a smell but not a bad one and not really strong. Probably best to keep them in non-living area as some people might not like it.

Well my wife has been into the furnace room now and then and hasn't commented on any bad smells. Actually the culture medium the flies came with from Wards, did develop a rank smell. The stuff I have has sort of a floral smell.
