Do Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) kill Steinernema Feltiae (nematodes)?

I'm having some minor gnat and inchworm issues. The BT is helping, but not completely solving the problem so I bought some nematodes. Before I introduce them into my soil I want to make sure it's safe. I'm hearing different things, so I figured I'd ask here. Does BT kill SF?

Did you buy a praying mantis at the same time? Was thinking 1000 venus fly trap plants!

no, nematodes are safe

also add some yellow sticky cards to each plant pot and the room for monitoring.

I assume they are larvae, but they move in that typical inchworm fashion. I've also seen them hang by a single thread as inchworms do.
