When I use Bt to kill mosquito larvae, are the dead larvae still nutritious for birds who get them when they dringk from my bird bath?
I read that lemon would also eliminate mosquito larvae. What part of the lemon and how much should I use? |

Sure. Since Bt is a mild biological pest control, it is harmless to larger organisms like birds.
Plus larger organisms like birds, have strong digestive systems that are immune to the beneficial biological pesticidal microbes like the ones that live in Bt.
Also all the microbes and nutrients in the rain water plus the Bt, would make a great irrigation source or mild foliar tea application for any sustainable lawn or garden.
Happy Gardening! |
