That struck me as well. However I have to wonder how many insects in the 'Armageddon' are just caught in the crossfire in our battle with a handful of harmful species like these mosquitos. For example, you can buy yard spray to eliminate mosquitos in your yard for a day or so, which people use all the time, but which also kill all the other insects in your yard.

So if we could target single species like this, maybe it would actually be beneficial for all the other species that are collateral damage in our current wars.
