Holy cow, Batman!

I’ve heard of this before.

Makes sense.

... it's a gesture of goodwill to the many people who were so upset about neurotoxins being sprayed in Miami Beach ..

Lemme guess? None of the complainants are pregnant? Here's the only 'gesture' they deserve:

[imardmd1]

DDT will do it, and there’s really nothing wrong with that wide-band bug killer. It’s time we took the wraps off the criminal propaganda that gave rise to banning of DDT by governmental heterozetesis, the ignoring of all the reasonable arguments that testify to its safe and effective use.

Would consuming infected mosquitoes enable bats to transmit the virus?

[Busko]

DDT could!!!!

I lived in south Florida for 35 years and never saw a bat, let alone a swarm of bats.

Dade and Broward County are urbanized all the way to the Everglades, so there aren't all that many mosquitoes to begin with.

If you release swarms of bats around Miami Beach, they'll just hang out in the fruit trees or around the dumpsters at Publix.

[Paradox]

This is a common misconception

[OrangeHoof]

So Miami and parts north were just hit with a humongous massive windstorm and somehow the mosquitoes stayed put???

I would expect the Zika mosquitoes to be everywhere from Palm Beach to Key Largo by now but the citizenry is still focused only on a few Miami neighborhoods? I find that incredible.

[Tax-chick]

The effort would lure bats to the city by building bat houses in the Zika zone.

Might work, might not. Bats are great, but they can be picky about their roosts.
