President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order to address the issue of invasive ticks and mosquitoes in Washington, D. C. This initiative mandates a campaign to cut mosquito populations by 90 percent and tick populations by 50 percent by 2028, using technology-enabled, non-chemical methods.
It involves various departments including the Interior, Agriculture, and the Environmental Protection Agency, which are to collaborate on developing new pest control technologies.
