1. A method comprising:
receiving information indicating a population of wild insects within a geographic region;
determining a number of wild insects per unit area within the geographic region;
determining a plurality of road segments within the geographic region based on the number of wild insects per unit area;
placing, based on the number of wild insects per unit area, one or more insect release points based on the plurality of road segments and the number of wild insects per unit area, each insect release point indicating a release of a predefined quantity of insects; and
generating an insect release route through the geographic region, the insect release route passing through each insect release point.
