What to do with the poop?
The frass is an amazing natural fertilizer that can also be used in composting and soil-building programs. For cricket farms, used substrate can be shredded and mixed with some of the frass to achieve a perfect 20:1 C:N ratio for composting.
The packaging depicted below was registered with and accepted by the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Fertilizing Materials Materials Inspection Program for sale to retail consumers. It should be noted that in California, wholesale of frass from an insect farm to an end user or fertilizer manufacturer at a raw material (not marketed as a ready-to-use fertilizer) does not require registration.

Cricket poop, or frass, is an all-natural fertilizer loaded with slow-releasing nutrients and microbes to enliven your soil. Frass is dry and granular, making it easy to store and handle. Frass can be distributed by hand, or used in a spreader.
All of our frass was produced and collected at Tiny Farms facilities in California — and packed in the San Francisco Bay Area. The crickets were fed a non-gmo vegetarian feed and were raised in a carefully controlled environment to protect them from pollutants. Use as a top dressing or mix into soils for long-lasting benefits. Can be used for: - Potted Plants - Raised Beds - Soil Amendment - Compost Accelerant - Compost Teas |
Full Nutrient Analyses:
Below are complete nutrient analyses for two samples of frass produced in our facility. The first analysis is a compost analysis for pure frass (this includes the tests for a standard fertilizer analysis, plus compost specific analyses such as nitrogen stability). The second analysis is a fertilizer analysis of frass that has been adulterated with coconut coir - a material that can be used for collecting eggs, and also for providing water to growing crickets.
