I read the BT strain that’s in the mosquito bits only goes for mosquito or fungus gnat larvae. Is it true? An I risking it killing my other beneficials in the medium?

Should be no harm
I've fought the hard fight with gnats for years, mosquito dunks ain't gone get you nowhere, gnatrol ain't gone get you nowhere. If your organic and not throwing a bunch of pesticides into your soil what you need is nematodes and predator mites. Key is to use together and not stop using. If you apply religiously, I mean religiously, trust in time your gnat problem will go. I've tried every single thing that has been mentioned and even the things not mentioned. What I just told you to do if you do and follow to a T you will not have gnats. Make sure each time you apply that it is enough for the size pot your using, you VANNOT add too much, impossible. If you have a bad infestation I would apply at least every week until they start to die down then every two weeks until you don't see them once a month as a preventative. Anything else your wasting your time.
PEACE!
PEACE!
I use Gnatrol. Great product.

I was going to get some nemetodes or such but my local grow stores run out so quick right now I have to find alternative. I’m guessing if I use mosquito bits BEFORE I have them I may not have a medium they are wanting to go in anyhow.
Those two bodies look like fungus gnats to me.
Thing is there are not in my garden. About 4 days ago I cleaned out some clay pebbles what I needed and left the rest unclean in the bag. Bag has stayed in my bathroom. maybe they have come out of that. I have put some tape over my plug holes and the cut I have made on the clay pebble bag to find out where they are coming from.
