What about one of those fecal waste disposal units they sell through pet catalogs? You only have to dig one hole and insert the unit. You then drop in the waste and put chemicals on top to rapidly break it down. I have never tried one, but maybe someone who has can let us know if they work.
I am not sure what blowflies are but maybe using two bags would help. I have heard putting a half cup of ammonia in a garbage can will deter flies and wildlife.
Get a thing of poultry dust from the garden store, and a container of baking soda. keep the shakers where you keep your cleaning supplies near the bin. Every time you put the droppings in the bag, sprinkle the top with some baking soda (buy generic). Then sprinkle the top of that with a sprinkle of the poultry dust. You can also use Sevin dust but it's not very good for the environment. Poultry Lice and Garden dust is available at most feedstores. Its ingredient is permethrin.
The baking soda will dehydrate and deoderize, the poultry dust will kill any larvae if they hatch.
I live in the south, and we have chickens, and cats, and all sorts of other creatures. Flies seek out moist places to hatch their larvae and are a serious problem. That is how we keep everything tidy and larvae (and thus blowfly) free around here! :)
Take care of the larvae, and you won't have to try to trap blowflies.
