It is amazing when one tiny detail determines success and failure. I do not have any idea how we could have kept flies out of our Field Expedient Composting Toilet, but they stayed below the seat...
I should have added — airtight plug in the seat lid.

Was the FECT a mil-spec item? I can't find anything beyond WWI.
