The culprit? Overuse of insecticides in wealthier neighborhoods, which unintentionally breed tougher bugs. These tiger mosquitoes, capable of carrying dengue and Zika, could soon render our bug sprays useless. But there’s hope: since they breed in tiny pools of standing water, eliminating those—like in plant saucers or buckets—can break their cycle. Scientists say it’s not too late—if we change habits and rotate pest control, we can still save our most vital defense against these deadliest animals on Earth.
