    @NewsUser I don’t understand why they don’t introduce the genetically modified mosquitoes and devastate the pest’s population. It’s been needed at a number of places in the world and the leaders never go for it.

      @exohuman I think they are afraid of change and new technology. To be fair, there have been instances where we have introduced a new species of something to deal with a different invasive species…just to have our introduced species take their place. I believe it was frogs in Australia? (Citation needed)
