Has this actually worked for you? I had one egg where I used candle wax and it hatched but I've had others where wax or any kind of glue did not work.
With superglue I'd be affraid that the chemical would effect the hatchling but I guess there is nothing to loose.
I haven't had this problem in many years but I'm sure it'll happen again.
>> If an egg does split, the flies will appear from seemingly nowhere....no matter how 'clean' your house is. However, they can be saved sometimes by cleaning the crack with alcohol and then using Superglue to fix the crack. Unlike wax which can be hot and doesn't hold up well, or silicone cement that takes a long time to set and smells bad as it cures, Superglue dries almost instantly and really holds.
