You trust google?
As a rule, no. But there are a number of scientific papers on this topic.
I don't trust any of them. I'm familiar with their test projects they've done, one in Florida. And I know they've done something successful with that weird screw fly thing down south of the border.
Ok now you’re venturing into conspiracy theory territory. Nobody wants a screwworm outbreak anywhere. They’re a categorical pestilence.
What did I just say? That they successfully controlled the screw worm with it. Jesus Christ read it before you trash it.
