You mean they don’t want to put a permanent dent in world mosquito populations?

Who’d weep if mosquitoes became extinct?

[KC_Lion]

Can’t see this going wrong......

Nothing can go wrong.

This is a standard strategy for disease vectors like mosquitoes. Hope it works.

What could possibly go wrong?

This should be good.
Hope it works out better than the introduction of Melaleucas to help dry up water and have become an invasive....Not sure but I think Kudzu was another brain child of the gvmnt too?

Have been infested with ‘stink bugs’ last couple of years and they inevitably get indoors- so the cats spot and stalk them and I capture them and flush them down the toilet.

BUT...have septic system and I get weird visions of mutant stink bugs coming out of the ground and REALLY overrunning the countryside.

I killed a mosquito here in Wisconsin that had a tick on it.

I remember a teacher telling our class back around 1960 that the University of Florida had ended a common animal disease caused by screwworms.

I am not sure he was right but he said they released millions of sterile flies of that type. Maybe they are doing something similar with mosquitoes.

Nothing could go wrong with this. Just google melaleuca plant, pythons,the River of Grass restoration, etc.

Just wondering......... aren’t mosquito larvae a major food source for the baby fish in the everglades?

[yarddog]

Another real successful one was Kudzu.

Messing with the genes of animals that live off our blood and pass our blood around... What could possibly go wrong??
