“Squashing bugs is the goal of every tech company, but typically not the blood-sucking kind. Google wants to do both. In a permit filing with the Environmental Protection Agency, Google wants to release millions of mosquitoes in California and Florida. The Debug Project’s goal is to decimate populations of disease-carrying mosquitoes by introducing what it calls ‘good bugs’ to the environment. Under its current application, Google is asking to release 64 million mosquitoes across the two states over two years. … Because male mosquitoes don’t bite, the company plans to release only sterile males, with the goal that they mate with potentially disease-carrying female mosquitoes. Those female mosquitoes will go on to lay unfertilized eggs, decreasing the population of potentially dangerous mosquitoes over time.” (06/02/26)
