RE: EPA just approved the release of killer mosquitoes in 20 US States
Gardeners have been using some insects to repress other insects for a long time but they have never been scientifically altered to produce the desired results. I'm very interested in how successful this turns out and if the birds, fish, bats, etc will be able to find sufficient food sources after an attempted genocide of the disease-carrying varieties of mosquito.
They have been doing it in Brazil since 2015 and also in China for a while, I guess they are still alive. Obviously in every climate it's likely to have different effects but I guess the number of mosquito will only decrease slightly in these 20 states
I would be more concerned about all the pesticides that they use in the U.S. especially, that's really impacting the bees population and poisoning our food
I can't argue that! Some of the pesticides that they've been using are having some horrific unintended side effects. Bee mortality is only one of the more recent. The pesticides are very insidious in the larger ecosystem.
