so yeah. genociding species tends not to end well. That being said we actually just need to eliminate the disease spreading mosquitos and don't need to get rid of them all so. maybe.

    These technologies are pretty much unable to completely genocide mosquitos unless deployed worldwide in an massive effort, which noone wants to actually do - they are really only problematic in areas where mosquitos and blood-borne diseases which get transmitted by them happen to coexist.
