Now officials plan to release sterile male fruit flies in the area, to reduce the population of the invaders.
The sterile males mate with the females, which fail to produce offspring, reducing the population over time.
Henry Wu : Actually they can’t breed in the wild. Population control is one of our security precautions. There’s no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : How do you know they can’t breed?
Henry Wu : Well, because all the animals in Jurassic Park are female. We’ve engineered them that way.
But again, how do you know they’re all female? Does someone go into the park and, uh… pull up the dinosaurs’ skirts?
Honestly this QA would’ve helped.
They should be introducing millions of frogs to combat the fruit flies.
But then what about the frogs?
Snakes
And to get rid of the snakes?
Mongeese (plural of mongoose)? Then jackals, then heffalumps, and finally climate change which should solve it once and for all. Seriously, drive more, what’s good for M and M Enterprises is good for the planet…
Try the apex predators, Humans! Oh wait-

I’m Hungry. I saw this before reading the title. It looks like a top view of a taco. That looks really tasty. Then I realized this was not a taco and I have brought much shame upon my family.
That taco is all shell. Likely to trigger chitin allergies if you eat too much. Don’t recommend.
Dude. It looked delicious. Like an open taco bell 7 layer burrito or something.
Argh stop. I am so hungry rn and nothing is open yet.
Maybe find a place that can make you a
Loro Loco
Which is
Chicken breast with shrimp, tomatoes, onions, peppers, zucchini, topped with cheese dip. Served with rice and beans.
Or
Loro Lindo
Chicken, steak and shrimp, served on a bed of rice, red and yellow peppers, topped with cheese dip sauce.
BTW it’s almost noon where I’m at
Now do mosquitos
Either this works, or it’s the funniest thing ever. Win / win.
Earlier this month, the California Department of Food and Agriculture quarantined 69 square miles of metro L.A. after invasive and destructive Mediterranean fruit flies were found at a home in the Leimert Park neighborhood.
Now, officials are planning to use small planes to drop millions of the insects in an effort to eradicate them, SFGATE reports.

Important point you missed in your comment.
Life finds a way.
Don’t let movies do your thinking for you. This is an effective eradication method that has been used successfully for many years.
Lmao just saw ppl downvoting me. I was providing MORE context than the title because I was curious. What I pasted wasn’t “scary” to me and of course they aren’t going to just going to release a fuckton of fertile bugs to “eradicate” another bug.
Yall are daft.
What what what what
