LA County has launched its latest plan to fight an invasive mosquito species by using what may seem like a counter-intuitive strategy. Gio Insignares reports.
If they're going to use mosquitoes to fight mosquitoes, why not use the elephant mosquito? The larva of the elephant mosquitoes eat the larva of the other mosquitoes, and the female elephant mosquitoes don't feed on blood.
Because it was less profitable. That's the answer to all why-not questions in the US. For more truisms, also see: follow the money; follow the ego; and gnostic cults masquerading as political movements.
What these geniuses don't seem to grasp -- or do -- is that even if just a few of those males are x-ray resistant, those genes will propagate so fast that it will make your head spin. I guess it will help in the short term though.
What can go wrong
Sterilize mosquitoes or population?
They: Problem
They: "Solution"
FcaSo-Called-politicians!

As they say, fight fire with fire. In this case, fight mosquitos with mosquitoes. No overnight fogging.
