At one point there was a company that bred predator insects to add to
silos of whole grain. The tiger bugs would patrol the grain looking for
grazing bugs and eat them. Net result a lot less insect parts. But
since it was actively adding insects to grain they couldn't get
commercial licensing when they tried to move from pilot project to
wholesale marketing.

I guess they were "them-goods" put in to eat the "we-evils". Nah, too
hard to pronounce.
