The reply was specifically to the points in your post. You lament the time and money spent on eradication when so much else needs to be done. And my point is that your perception of is neglecting the low income housing projects taking care of some of those things you are seeing lacking.

Anyway, if that wasn't a deliberate thread jacking, the topic here is eradication of invasive species. The main problem here is the eradication is too inefficient and thereby ineffective. There is the next step in eradication.

This is a UK police surveillance UAV. Reduce the camera size to include an onboard weapon:

This is just a computer render but it isn't far from being real.

There are some homebrews that have put small rocket launchers on their custom UAV. A larger UAV could hold a CO2 powered bolt gun. They aren't totally silent but would only have to hover a couple hundred feet from the target. The bolt gun would be nearly silent. The UAV operator can be out of sight and smell with first person camera view. More efficient, precise, stealthy and rapid eradication is needed.
