And if we won't wipe them out, is it too much to ask for to want a genetically modified mosquito to whom human blood is toxic or something? Don't we have scientists?

They do serve one useful purpose. They make flies seem downright enjoyable by comparison. Okay, so that's not terribly useful to _us_, but it is to the flies...

It's a pretty important link in the food chain. Mosquitos provide an enormous amount of biomass to be eaten. I would question how wise it is to sterilize their population.

I really hate mosquitos. I am living mosquitobait. I go outside on a spring-fall day, I will come back with at least one new mosquito bite. I would probably get bitten in the middle of the Nevada desert. Somehow.

I concur. I was actually wondering if you played it loud enough, would that prevent them from hooking up in the first place? Like having a drunk Japanese salaryman slaughtering some romantic ballad while you're trying to put the moves on that hottie at the end of the bar.
