A Diabolic Twist on Sex
- Share via
Re “The Lure of Sex Can Drive Roaches to Their Deaths,” Feb. 18: In a strange way, I viewed the article on using sex pheromones in the war on cockroaches with a degree of sadness. In a sense, using sex to draw the creature to its demise bothered me on a personal level. It’s kind of unnerving to imagine a wonderful thing used in such a diabolic way.
Further, I have rather counted on the hitherto unconquerable cockroach to survive and continue a life force on Earth after the demise of mankind.
