Should humans attempt to exterminate all flies?

Yes.\n\nBut even if they do, they can't because the flies are everywhere and are impossible to exterminate.

I agree completley with you on this one!\n\nYou know I love insects and spiders....well let me tell you whenever I recieve a call about "invaders", the first question is always, What is it? and the second is always How do i kill/get rid of it?\nIts tough for me, because I always try to find peaceful solutions to these problems, but many people dont want to spend that extra 20 minutes spider "proofing" the house, its just easier for them to roll up a news paper....not fair...\nYou raise a good point, their ancestors were here first, then we came along, ruined the habitat and the current wildlife is left with a choice "adapt, or die" and unfortunatly, even though they do adapt to our structures, they usually end up dying anyways because of our lack of compasion. I have never killed a spider in my house, even before i started studying them as a career, I guess because I knew the value of each life and that thye were just trying to do the best with the hand they were dealt (so to speak) so I really dont find it fair that innocent wild animals have to die, just because we dotn want them there, well thank God animals dont think the same way we do, because most likely they dont want us here at all either............. yet Wild animals show much more tolerance than we do....so who is really wild?

Euthanasia, as a way to eliminate "undesireable" ethnecities was what a man named Adolph Hitler attempted in the early 40's.Remember him? Sadaam H. also practiced this when attempting to eliminate other indiginous groups in his country.\n\nWhat kind of criteria would you use to establish just who should or could be euthanized? Those who have physical imparements, mental illness, the wrong eye color?  I have heard the arguements that a doctor should be able to administer a painless death when all other hope is lost, but what doctor wants to be the one who is willing to do this? None that I know.\n\nRemember, when you open that can of worms, you don't really know what all is going to crawl out.

Well they are definatly one of the worst disease carrying insects on the planet. Actually the deadliest insect, or animal for that matter is the mosquito (Culicidae), which is a fly (order Diptera). House flies do have and act as the vector for several diseases, this has to do mostly with the way in which they feed. The fly mouthpart or haustelum is used for lapping up food, it has no functioning mandibles for chewing. The fly's favorite food as an adult is many forms of sugar. In order to dissolve sugar, a liquid must be added, and due to fly's limited resources, it uses its own saliva to dissolve the sugar particles. This regurgitation is how many of the common zoonotic infections are spread by this seemingly harmless insect

Nah.... nuclear holocaust will wipe out more than just the humans....\n\nand some humans are fine there just to many right now...\n\nhow about a deasease or something that just kills off 99.99% of every human... that still leaves several million alive spread out all over the world not to many yet still enugh to thrive...\n\nmaybe a few more 99.999% or 99.9999%.... but thats a bit much if you ask me

I'd have no problem letting the turd-world wipe themselves out.  But if they attack us, they'll get the stomping of their lives.\n\nCase in point.

Exterminate them.They are not fit to be called human beings.

We are in a population decline check out Italty's birth and death ratio.\n\nSecond you said "We’re very skilled when it comes to killing off deer, snakes, rabbits, and fish for population control." I hope you were being ironic because we either exterminate or domesticate species we never manage them in the wild.

gross!!!!!\ncall an exterminator and let them find out what they are so they can properly be disposed of!!

It's highly unlikely that it'd kill them. Lice are amazingly hardy and will survive pretty much anything.\n\n\nYou should definitely just go to a pharmacy and ask for a shampoo to treat lice.

Absolutely!\n\nChemical or biological attacks on major Western cities comes to mind.  If a biological attack on Paris killed 5 million people, should we sit and think about it?\n\nAs far as WWII is concerned, the war had to be ended, and Japan had to surrender.  The decision was taken to drop the bombs rather than risk an invasion of Japan will a million or more US casualties.\n\nWar is a very nasty business.  This is one of the mistakes we are making now.  In war, lots of people must be killed in order for the leaders (bin Laden, for example) to decide that it is time to stop murdering women and children.\n\nIf we make war to clean, then there is no motivation to stop it.

It is part of the cycle of life.  Fleas and flies end up as food for other creatures.  Flies also help eliminate decaying flesh which helps stop the spread of many diseases.  Nothing goes to waste in their world.

insects have an ectoskeleton, it's on the outside.  It's like armour.  Now imagine if they were the size of humans, it would be very easy for them to take over the world.  They'd be unstoppable!
