Just heard about this on the radio.
"They" have genetically engineered some male mosquitos to be sterile. So, when they mate with female mosquitos, the eggs don't hatch.
Initially data shows an 80% reduction in mosquitos.
Sounds like a hell of an idea to me.

Only down side is that they have to continually release these sterile mosquitos.
