Trial of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, a mosquito larvicide, against Porcellionides pruinosus, a terrestrial isopod.
Woodlice, Porcellionides pruinosus, were not killed when exposed to granular Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis. Mortality was observed when woodlice received a topical application of the highest concentration of liquid Bti, but not at lower concentrations, nor when exposed via contaminated food or contaminated substrates.
