Playing God never works out well.

Don’t bats eat mosquitoes? Perhaps other life on the planet also rely on mosquitoes for their food chain?

Keeping the little pests under control is a great idea, but to try to eliminate them is going too far. There is bound to be an unexpected downside.

“Some folks never think about long-term issues”...

You are so correct...like Democrats, for example.

Nor sharks, snakes, lions, crocodiles, nor bears are the most dangerous animals by number of humans killed. That crown belongs to the tiny mosquito.

Cash flow, yes. But mostly the power it brings.

It is still easier to keep away from all the biting critters than from air so humid that two family members couldn’t breathe. Also, few Lyme infested deer ticks here. That’s what got me in CT years ago.

Boil a large pot of water ... dump it on the mound.... it will get them to move at least a few feet... do it again. Cheap... environmentally friendly ... effective

It takes a long time to boil enough water for eight mounds scattered throughout the yard. And yes, they don’t take the hint and set up shop again 2 ft away.

Have you seen the “sculptures” that people have made by pouring molten aluminum down fire ant nests? Kind of attractive.

Oh, I agree. I love Az, came here from California but have been back east and the southeast many times. The heat I can do, but the humidity I just cannot.

But... I left ca behind as it should be. :)

Yes, “the vine that ate the South” was brought in to prevent soil erosion.

It can grow a foot a day.

Unintended consequences!

Let me be the first, if not the last to say that Google will never eradicate Mosquitos.

Now, of they could eradicate Liberals I might stand up and take notice.

Exactly. that’s why anyone contemplating purposefully eradicating an entire species should seriously contemplate kudzu.

I have the feeling, however, that the would-be eradicators are like the people who want socialism- THEY are smart enough to do things “right.” THEY are so smart, it will work, THIS time.
