Anyone out there have proof that Bt kills fish? 1 dunk covers 100 sq.ft..
Its possible to overdose in mass quantities I guess, but generally not in
practical applications...
yes/no with proof would be fine... EPA web says no, County says no, I say no
(personal exp)
What do you say? Who uses them and to what formula?

Bt does not kill fish. altho I would use the Bt israeli strain for mosquitoes.

Even in high doses? I mean water is perfectly safe for me to drink, but in
high quantities, it is quite toxic to me.

Mosquito dunks is really what they were talking about putting in the
pond, and the first ones I bought said they were BT, but the ones I have
now say bacillus thuringiensis israeliensis. I'm not sure if that is
what it was all the time or if we now have an improved bacteria.

Bacillus thuringiensis was also used to spray corn crops and for a while
upset the butterfly folks because it was killing butterflies that
ventured near the corn fields as well as the corn ear worm.
I suppose someone got the word it was a really bad thing, like the virus
that eats the characters off your keyboard and believed it. (That was a
Joke.)

It doesn't harm fish or birds! (That wasn't a joke.)

Regards,

Hal
