Yeah I went down a rabbit hole (heh) trying to see if it was true.

And no, turns out it's just a bunch of pesticides and more recently (since the mid 90s) they apparently infect them on purpose with something that destroys their liver.

I heard they control mosquitoes this way. They release a ton of sterile male mosquitoes, the males mate with females, and the female lays unfertilized eggs. This dramatically cuts down on the mosquito population.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
