“We must STOP spraying and using poisons”
Yeah we tried that with DDT, and since they stopped spraying there has been a sharp increase in mosquito and tick borne diseases such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Lyme Disease, and others.

We simply need to encourage predators of mosquitos and ticks. There is no need to poison entire forests and lakes. All that does is kill the predators and leaves us more dependent on chemicals. Eventually the insects adapt and more chemicals are always needed.
I’ve seen it done effectively in farms in the Caribbean and South America. You can be surrounded by jungles but there are practically no mosquitoes.
Absolutely no need for mass poisons if you apply the right knowledge.
