I have seen wasps getting drunk on the fomented juices of rotten fruit. They did not notice me, and I do not know that they were all male, but I thought it better for me that they were busy.

Yes, better to leave them alone and not have them notice you. I remember when I was a kid and was barefoot and shirtless kneeling by an irrigation ditch when a black wasp lit on my shoulder and crawled all around on my arm. Somehow I did not panic but just watched it crawl around a while until it flew away. Thanks for commenting.

how 'bout i offer them pesticides or, better yet, flame throwers? ! so, the mosquito gets Dengue from watermelons and then transmits to humans. am i understanding you on this?

No, the idea is that you give the mosquitos watermelon to eat instead of them biting you! (Before I left Brazil, it was the Zika virus that was the new scare, but when I wrote this, everybody was nervous about dengue.)
