USA Today reports the spread of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and most recently, zika. These are moving from the tropics into the warmer, wetter parts of the U.S.
As viral diseases, we have no cures for them, antibiotics don't work. Mosquito control provides the best way to limit their impact.
One wonders how long it will be before governments decide to bring back the number one mosquito killer - the much-maligned DDT? Nothing has ever been so effective. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.
