MODERATORS
The sterile males mate with the females, which fail to produce offspring, reducing the population over time.
Henry Wu : Actually they can't breed in the wild. Population control is one of our security precautions. There's no unauthorized breeding in Jurassic Park.
Dr. Ian Malcolm : How do you know they can't breed?
Henry Wu : Well, because all the animals in Jurassic Park are female. We've engineered them that way.
But again, how do you know they're all female? Does someone go into the park and, uh... pull up the dinosaurs' skirts?
Honestly this QA would’ve helped.
They should be introducing millions of frogs to combat the fruit flies.
But then what about the frogs?
Snakes
And to get rid of the snakes?
Mongeese (plural of mongoose)? Then jackals, then heffalumps, and finally climate change which should solve it once and for all. Seriously, drive more, what's good for M and M Enterprises is good for the planet...
Try the apex predators, Humans! Oh wait-

I'm Hungry. I saw this before reading the title. It looks like a top view of a taco. That looks really tasty. Then I realized this was not a taco and I have brought much shame upon my family.
That taco is all shell. Likely to trigger chitin allergies if you eat too much. Don't recommend.
Dude. It looked delicious. Like an open taco bell 7 layer burrito or something.
Argh stop. I am so hungry rn and nothing is open yet.
Maybe find a place that can make you a
Loro Loco
Which is
Chicken breast with shrimp, tomatoes, onions, peppers, zucchini, topped with cheese dip. Served with rice and beans.
Or
Loro Lindo
Chicken, steak and shrimp, served on a bed of rice, red and yellow peppers, topped with cheese dip sauce.
BTW it's almost noon where I'm at
Now do mosquitos
