Yes, two scourges for mankind. I recall several (many?) years ago they did the irradiate mosquitoes thing in Alaska and it was a complete failure since they were dropped from some high altitude, like 40-50,000 ft and apparently none survived to fulfill their mission. LOL!!!
My concern is a little different. Yes, they are a nuisance to man, but they are also at the bottom of the food chain for many other species of birds, fish and animals etc. Wipe out the mosquito and the black-fly and you are wiping out many other species who depend on them as well. In many areas of heavy spraying of aluminum, barium, and strontium (geoengineering AKA chemtrails) the fish populations have almost, or completely, disappeared. In investigating why it was determined there was no food for the “fry” (just hatched fish) to live on. Samples taken in years before geoengineering showed full stomachs crammed with hundreds of mosquitoes and other aquatic “bugs”, but after heavy geoengineering the same fish species showed all empty or almost empty stomachs, thus starving and killing off all who depended on them.
So IMHO if we wipe out the mosquito, we are in effect wiping out hundreds or thousands of other species that depend on the mosquito, at the bottom of the food chain, for their food.
I wish man would use his brain for something other than war and a hat-rack!! Silverngold
