If you are referring to BT israelensis, that is not a poison unless your a mosquito or fungus gnat....no harm to anything else:)If you're using soil/soiless you can throw all the poisons away. Stir the top of the soil everytime you water and you'll kill the little beasties before they can fly.

Stirring the top of the medium may kill some larvae, but what about the drain holes at the bottom? They like to go in there too..easier access, right to the roots, LOL.
I did the sand thing, mosquito dunks, etc etc...tedious and those dunks can get expensive pretty quick if you have a lot of plants and a big infestation.
Get some Microbe-Lift BMC, FTW!!!
Its super concentrated....1 drop per 1.5 gal. Just make sure to buy the 1/2oz size for birdbaths. The larger sizes are even more concentrated and will be overkill and a waste.
