Well, mosquitos aren't that hard to kill... but doing anything on a blanket scale is... the difficulty is not that the poison isn't potent enough...

The trick is poisoning them without poisoning everything else... We don't need to kill everything trying to save anything.

This virus is not new... It has been moving around for a few years now... It rarely is fatal, few people that are exposed to it even get sick, and most of those that do get sick recover... Most horses that get it recover also... and there is a horse vaccine for it. I imagine they are working on a people vaccine, but those take longer to get approval.

I am not ready to throw the baby [eagles] out with the bathwater just because the media is trying to panic everyone over it.

OK, your position is clear- as is mine. We'll simply disagree, and lobby our respective points.
