- mycolatctone availability
- Can it be used/produced by E. coli
- Can we bind a fluorescent part to WASP
Monocyt mycolactone
- We don't have enough expertise to work with these cells
- It can't be used in third world countries
- This idea will be rejected

- How much will the range increase?
Insect luring
- Lure them into a trap, then kill them
- What will we use to kill it?
- Glue, pesticides etc.
