Wow. Good luck with that.... Here's what Austin is dealing with after trying this same thing years ago.

If they could selectively introduce only males or females it would be a lot more sustainable IMO.
An invasive that can’t reproduce is a lot less disastrous, but introducing one invasive to eat another … that’s a cat in the wall problem.
