As mosquitoes are now able to survive and thrive in places they have never before - including Brazil, Florida, and as far north as Washington D.C. and New York This is the type of statement that passes for critical thought today. I lived in south Florida in the 1950's it was covered in mosquitos. They ran the DDT trucks through the neighborhood every summer to try and keep the infestation to a minimum, but kids outside were always slapping the damn things.
To think that somehow Brazil never saw a mosquito until now would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that so many millions of Americans are stupid enough to believe it.
As to Washington DC, the first settlers of Jamestown were victims of malaria, and it is reported that George Washington himself may have contracted the disease. Guess it was all the trips old George made to Panama.

AC/DC should have a song called "DDT". They already have a similar one.

Absolutely correct. The answer to the mosquito problem and problems flowing there from is DDT.

Want to bet they pull in as much “global warming causes more mosquitoes” hyper-BS as possible every other paragraph?

The worst part is foreign mosquitoes doing the disease spreading that American mosquitoes won’t do :)

The death knell for DDT was government contracts that paid by the pound without limit for aerial spraying campaigns. Of course you are going to have some heavy negative environmental impacts, any pesticide would exhibit same if you sprayed millions of pounds of it wantonly.
Given its persistence it should have been used more like antibiotics, general education to get people to eliminate breeding sources and point use for significant occurrences.

The British who occupied Washington DC in the war of 1812 regarded it as a mosquito infested fever swamp.

I occasionally drive by the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge on the Maine cost, and I want to spit out the window every time I go by.
