- Sexual reproduction requires both sperm and egg
- If something required for a process is not produced then that process is prevented from occurring
- The sperm production is prevented in male insects
- Hence, the sexual reproduction process is prevented in the insects

- The sexual reproduction process is prevented in the insects
- Preventing reproduction decreases the rate of reproduction
- Sexual reproduction is a kind of reproduction
- Hence, the reproduction rate in the insects will decrease

- The reproduction rate in the insects will decrease
- As the rate of reproduction decreases , the population will decrease
- So, the population of the insects will decrease

Hence, the population of the insects will decrease
Question
The male insects in a population are treated to prevent sperm production. Would this reduce this insect population?
