Re: Whack-a-Mole
In the 'pest control' business, they call it 'pest control' and not 'pest elimination'.
The fact that you can not eliminate them all does not stop you from trying.
As I was told by a pest control guy once (when it was my job to lead the pest controllers around the hotel to service the baits and spray stuff), you do not eliminate them, but if you do not see them, they are "controlled". It's when you start to see the pests that they are no longer "in control" and you need to take additional action.
Similarly, botnets and online criminals, in general. Eliminating them (or at least, TRYING to) is "pest control".
icon, kinda like skull and cross-bones on pest spray.
