In Florida they’ve genetically modified a mosquito that makes mosquito offspring infertile and are releasing them into the wild. They presume that this will reduce future mosquito populations by an order of magnitude if not multiples.

We didn’t have such genetic tools available to us in the past

Well, it’s possible you’re right, but surely someone said the same thing about vaccines for things like small pox and polio, so the past doesn’t necessarily agree with your opinion
