Recently saw Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (sp?) for sale in round cakes
at my local hardware store for the control of Mosquito larva in standing
water. Advertised as effective for up to 30 days, with directions for
breaking up the "cake" depending on the surface area of the water to be
treated.

Considering using it to control larvae in my CP trays. Am I right in thinking
that this should be an insecticide with no impact on CP?
