Minor wishes to make the world a better place
explicit:
As an environmental worker, I will say that we all want to, but it's hard without destroying everything or giving birds cancer.
sitnspin:
There's evidence to suggest we could get rid of several species of mosquito without detrimental effects on the environment or ecosystem, namely those that co-evolved with humans and are the biggest threat to us
MrBlu:
Bear in mind, I totally added my comment before seeing any of the previous mosquito disdain.
pwhodges:
The wife of one of my former bosses spent her life reducing mosquito populations in Africa by making modifications to their habitats which interfered with their lifecycle. I don't know how scalable her methods turned out to be.
sitnspin:
One method we have used before to drastically reduce the population of harmful insect species is to breed a bunch of males in a lab, sterilize them, then release them into the population.
