hopefully they'll become resistant by not being attracted to the bait, and as a side effect, no longer attracted to humans?

- TeMPOraL 15y agoThe bait has nothing to do with the need for blood. It's a food source they need.
- narag 15y agoIIRC, only females are parasitic. If you poison males, the population will be reduced for the next generation... or the surviving males will have extra work :-)
- krosaen 15y agoright but they're presumably attracted to humans via some mechanism, just saying I hope it's the same mechanism for which they're attracted to the nectar so that if the population becomes resistant to the poison by no longer being drawn in by the nectar, they are also no longer drawn to humans.
