From the field study and release:

EPA does not regulate insecticidal nematodes (Gorsuch, 1982), including genetically engineered strains (Andersen, personal communication). USDA-APHIS routinely issues courtesy permits for nontransgenic H. bacteriophora. The transgenic form of H. bacteriophora I am proposing to field release does not contain new traits likely to alter the pre-existing relationship with other organisms in the environment (see Enclosure B). Researchers working with Caenorhabditis elegans neither require nor request permits because field releases are not considered for this research model.

Look at that link I posted folks, these guys crossed a nematode (tiny worm) with jelly fish and other things and say, ya, it's not likely to harm anything but the exact bugs were after, sheeze, and you guys keep rolling in with the one liners, oh well, a lie travels around the world while the truth is still strapping it's boots on.

night guys .... don't let the bed bugs bite, cause when they do your life will never be the same.

I recall reading about DNA of jelly fish being put into other organisms. I will pay attention to future articles. About the nematodes: the article states the nematodes were altered and then released on fields to infect insects and they would die without insecticide. Here in Michigan it seems the farms release an Asian beetle. It looks like a lady bug, but they do bite (nothing harmful) and are unable to reproduce. They seem to live all winter. If the writer of this long article is on to something, we will all know soon.
