Of course you know you are kinda contradicting yourself. "Instar" refers to particular period during larval development and FGs have four. Most research on BTi is in agreement that BTi is more effective during the early stages of the larvae (1st and 2nd instar) than any other period of a FG life cycle.
Definition of Instar:
An insect larva that is between one moult (ecdysis) of its exoskeleton and another or between the final ecdysis and its emergence in the adult form. Instars are numbered and there are usually several during larval development.
So where's the beef? LOL, its all cool man. Gnatrol works, but it does have its limitations.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but you offered that BT is only effective on the first two larval stages while the literature states that it's merely more effective at those stages of development. In sufficient strength it's apparently effective against all stages of larvae.
That doesn't mean they can really be eradicated in organic soil mixes but rather controlled. Every new batch of soil runs the risk of introducing them. They seem to be unavoidable in fresh worm castings, for example. My soil mix ages outdoors in trash cans so native gnats go for it in warm weather.
I'm sure your methods of continuous control are better than my own which occur only when needed, particularly for professional growers. I'm not that- it's just one of my hobbies in retirement. If it were my livelihood then I'd be into it a lot deeper.
