All of these people who want to eradicate mosquitoes constantly focus their entire effort on harmless irritant mosquitoes. If they're actually concerned about mosquitoes spreading disease in North America, they should be concentrating their efforts on eradicating malaria in Central America to just get ahead of the problem.

Why are they doing this nonsense when we know how to eradicate species like this, just do the same thing they did to the screw worm fly before they fucked it up

Edit: i guess screw worm only mates once and mosquitos are freaks

Why are we wasting science on this when we already know that the best way to get rid of mosquitoes is to use the mint mace
