Does this sound like a good idea? I can't decide.

Releasing a virus into the wild? No. Even if you don't like ants the consequences could be catastrophic.

I can't believe this is even been proposed.

What a great idea. There couldn’t possibly be any consequences.

I got destroyed by red fire ants at Patrick AFB. I put on my camouflage pants at 0530 in the dark, and just felt burning pain. I threw on the lights and dropped my pants and had hundreds of ants biting me. I must have wiped my hands on pants after eating the day before. It was not fun…

Release it, then it mutates and wipes out the honeybee and we all starve.

Never, never ever works out as planned. There are hundreds of cases that “scientists” modified mosquitoes, introduced preditors, etc. and in all cases the “law of unintended consequences” raised its ugly and vicious head.

No, because ants are important as part of the food chain, as ground aerators, as seed carriers and as the clean-up crew for carcasses and detritus. And ants eat each other, as well as other insects, so if you destroy one species, you’ll end up with more of their other species and more of the other insects.

Now go gobble some cockroaches, please, Formicidae.

I think it is terrible idea, given how much trouble our lab rats bring to us.

Sounds to me somebody was already working on that with NIH funds. Maybe 3 years ago? Maybe with bats?

I’m sure it will work out as well as manipulating bat viruses.

This works just as well. Besides, what if the ants want to remain purebloods?

Probably bad but there are no more quail in my area because fire ants kill the eggs/hatchings. People raise hundreds a year to release to keep them around but fire ants kill the yearly cycle. Fire ants need to go away. Need something.

With the coming economic disaster, maybe we can hire an army (old CCC) days to go find and kill every last fire ant mound.
