The United States of America is now officially carrying out Total Mosquito Death and Total Tick Deathhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/09/eliminating-disease-carrying-pests-and-restoring-enjoyment-of-the-great-outdoors/W? L?
>>5164912Sort ofIt's aimed at invasive mosquitoes. Also it's nothing new. We've been trying to get rid of ticks and mosquitoes ever since we arrived on the continent.The stuff Trump is authorizing is already being done in California and other states.
tl;dr: they're gonna toss more mosquito dunks
FUCK THE BIRDS CANT FRET OVER EVERY EGG
>>5164912Literally just place carbon traps around every single swamp and wet area in the nation.I don't know how you'd kill ticks out though. Seems like trying will just lead to poisoning everyone with some new disease-causing chemical.
Can we get rid of fire ants? Fuck those shits.
>>5164927>Seems like trying will just lead to poisoning everyone with some new disease-causing chemical.Isn't the goal of modern insecticides (like even the Raid you have in your cabinet) to only harm arthropods?
>>5164912NO government should EVER spray chemicals in the air!Unless it's to kill mosquitos :)
>moral panic over mosquitos and ticksReminder that they only take a little blood, barely enough to notice, and you'll replenish it in under an hour.Mosquitos are an important part of summer and we'd live in a quieter, emptier world without them.
>>5164933Anon, raid is actually highly toxic to humans
>>5164929Got bit by one of those a week ago and it didn't really have any effects immediately, but now the spot is itchy and not going away.It might be something worse than a fire ant, but I saw and destroyed the ant that did it, so I know it was an ant. Not sure what all kinds we got here in NC. But I do know fire ants were spreading terribly here a few years back.
>>5164943t. Mosquito
>>5164912unusual empahsis alpha-gal syndrome. It makes sense I guess, but still weird
>>5164943They also inject you with horrible, incurable diseases. I don't think people would really mind all that much if that didn't happen.
reminder tick diseases were engineered stronger in labs. Don't let (((them))) tell you otherwise
>>5165006This is mosquitophobic.
>>5164943I'm onto you buddy
>>5164912Didn’t these retards just defund a whole bunch of these programs like the screw worm eradication project
>>5164912>enjoyment of the great outdoors>kill wolves>cut down the trees>mine and drill every area you can
>>5164915well we got rid of malaria, that was the main reason really; and we got rid of it until a bunch of third worlders brought it back
>>5165115What nobody wants to say is that it was DDT that eliminated malaria in the US. It used to run rampant throughout the south, even up to Washington DC which was infamously a malaria filled swamp until it was completely urbanized.The real reason it's coming back is because we didn't eliminate it completely with DDT worldwide when we had the chance.
Now watch people start to defend ticks. You WILL see it happen.

>>5165190Where exactly did I mention any belief in this whole thing?
>>5164915Getting rid of ticks is easy. Cull the populations of deer back down to 1960's levels, they are the linchpin in the breeding cycle of ticks.Red States would flip their shit though, in flyover deer hunting is BIG business for the State coffers.But yeah their incredible overpopulation is 99% of the tick problem. There may be more deer on the continent now than in the 1700's, (and the 1700's writers commented on the plague of ticks infesting the continent.).
>>5165190Trump will likely unleash Monsanto on them full-force, kill all the butterflies/bees, kick off an apocalyptic famine, then we'll have to listen to these fuckwits blame Obama/Joe Biden.
>>5165234why would red states be angry with getting to hunt more deer? make each tag a double.
>>5165236They attract hunters by having easy to find deer. So easy to find that driving 2 hours you'll see a half-dozen smeared across the highway. So easy to find they are developing mad-deer disease. So easy to find that the States are infested with ticks carrying a half dozen nasty diseases. I drive less than 10 minutes to the plant each morning and have to watch carefully for them, and I live right on the outskirts of a city.
>>5165236Basically States like Missouri are a gigantic feed lot, you'd have to hit them with B-52's carrying Geneva banned ordinance to even put a dent in the vermin.
>>5164991I always forget what that is and have to google it every time
>>5165236States make money from (expensive) hunting licenses. In order to do a proper cull, you'd have to let them go to town. For free.
>>5164912except its not Mosquitos or Ticksits you and you’re family
>>5164912Go scorched earth on those motherfuckers.
