I'm sorry, but this really is a 'nuke the entire site from orbit' situation. The loss of the southern US and Central America will, of course, be mourned as a terrible loss, but it'll be worth it to make sure those things are dealt with. Permanently.
I assure you, few people will miss the southern US. Mexico? Definitely. Central America? Yep. But the US south? Fuck that.
You clearly haven’t watched enough scifi to know that nukes never wipe out the parasitic lifeforms / monster(s).
We can try your idea after the whole area is a glowing crater. I'm sure it'll work out juuuust fine that way. The first rule of scifi nuke vs. parasite club is: you don't listen to the advisor counselling caution.
You know you can just edit your existing comment, right?
Didn’t see that. I had double checked as well.
Yea, but then we will still have roaches…
Fail
More. Nukes.
Failing that we use those roboroaches they developed a while back to lead the other roaches to live in the crater. They can have that bit. The inevitable plague of supersized mutant cockroaches we'd suffer in a few generations is a problem for later.
