[quote=Anonymous]I heard an interesting Radiolab podcast about it. They basically bioengineer sterile Mosquitos that outcompete the native fertile ones. They lay eggs that don't successfully develop into mosquitos. I don't remember the details now but it was very successful at lowering the number of mosquitos in urban areas. The episode is called Kill 'Em All. http://www.radiolab.org/story/kill-em-all/ Not sure if that's the same as Gates' program. I got new gutters and noticed much fewer mosquitos. One gutter was not level and water did not drain from it very well. I kept getting our gutter cleaning company to regrade my gutters, but they never did it enough. Finally, I got new gutters and now it drains, and we have reduced one BIG source of standing water. [/quote]
