MODERATORS
There is literally no option to endanger mosquito species which act as vectors for human disease while people, agriculture, and wild mammal populations exist. This is local suppression in municipal areas.
32 million would be like fighting a wildfire with a spraybottle if your goal was eradication.
Eradicating disease is an option though as we CAN control transmission.
