Fighting Mosquitoes With Genetically Modified Mosquitoes

Well, turning those little nonsensical buggers into meat pies is going to turn the island into a grass field in due time. Or how a bunch of parrots that scaped a zoo shipment have nested, reproduced, and are steadily decreasing the number of pidgeons in my own city. Stuff is almost unpredictable with so many variables.

It's totally justified to use it against a whole species that only brings harm... But you can't just do it light headedly like "Mutations everywhere, it's not like we are impacting much".

....Ya know besides googling the most obvious question of their impact on the ecosystem? Guess what, the answer is a resounding 0. See what you don't understand and refuse to even acknowledge that these types of mosquitoes aren't even part of the ecosystem. They survive solely in human created habitats, such as spare tires, bottles, or household appliances. The only thing that eats them are gecko's/spiders/birds but none of them are a large part of any of those animals diets.

A little browsing goes a long way ey?
