Bug swarms? Well, if these are mosquito variants I would simply use gas to eliminate the larger swarms and drain stagnant waters to prevent breeding. With other bugs I might rely more heavily upon gases though. Burnination could easily be dangerous unless these bugs are monstrous as burnination can damage stronger creatures as well as weaker ones. I will arrange for flying vehicles with gas bombs to deal with the bug issue.


Gas bombs can harm the environment more than napalm bombs, and possibly have very negative side effects, especially on such a scale in the atmosphere. Neutron bombs with low yields and virtually no fallout should also be used.


Wow. . . I thought "environmentally friendly military action" was an oxymoron. . .no, wait, I still think it's an oxymoron.

It's pretty cool though.

We are going to be targeting insects. We can control the dosage of toxin and type so that it mostly kills our target while leaving other elements of the environment safe. Napalm has very little range so we have to destroy everything in order to hit the target and neutron bombs will kill everything in the overall area.
