Original Note:
The company that is responsible for releasing the mosquitos in Florida (Oxitec) does not use helicopters. They use "just add water" mosquito boxes to release the male mosquitos. Male mosquitos don't bite, or transmit diseases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9i1n0JGvLo&t=7s https://www.oxitec.com/our-images https://www.nea.gov.sg/corporate-functions/resources/research/wolbachia-aedes-mosquito-suppression-strategy/male-mosquitoes-do-not-bite#:~:text=Male%20mosquitoes%20feed%20only%20on,the%20development%20of%20their%20eggs.
