      Which would have far reaching consequences on other insectivores. Also, it’s not a foolproof solution we’ve created, the infertile male mosquitos will reduce the wild populations numbers, but likely not make them extinct.

          But there are a lot of mosquitos, and the infertile males won’t fully displace the healthy male population, so it’s unlikely the population will ever dip too low to drive them to extinction.

      Wait, does that mean no more mosquitos or can you simply have non-biting mosquitos? Because if the latter then what the fuck are we waiting for?
