[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]why are there so many mosquitos now[/b]? I have no specific data to back this up but one likely cause is the gradual decline/disappearance of their natural predators due to habitat loss, pollution and or fungal infections: -frogs, toads and other amphibians -bats -birds So while a chemical solution may be appealing in the short term, what is likely to happen is that the mosquitoes will develop resistance to the chemicals all the while the chemicals themselves contribute to further polluting the predators' habitats. In a few years, there will be even fewer predators, even more mosquitoes and highly resistant ones at that, which will require even stronger chemicals, which will perpetuate the vicious cycle until our kids start getting sick from playing outside, if they aren't already.[/quote]
