I've done some reading on this and favour the program
Mosquitoes (there are over 3000 species) have been responsible for half the deaths in human history and they pose a greater risk, to a larger number of people today, than ever before.
Apparently we transport Mosquitoes around the world in used tires :( ... and areas that were once eradicated are now again flourishing with the deadly bugs.
Of course there's some risk messing with mother nature, but I think it's a worthy cause, the chance to improve the life of literally millions of people, without using pesticides.
