Got a problem - Get an insect to eat it?

I was really set back by this article where insects are being used to fight a loosing battle to remove Tamarisk from the Colorado River. The very same method could be used to remove endangered species from wilderness study areas. Without the endangered species card to play no reason to restrict anyone or anything from using the area! Just a thought.

Of course these little critters will sooner or later be there anyway. What is that TV show called? After Man or when man is gone? Plants and insects eat New York City. Cogon.
