My skepticism is rooted in having fireflies where I lived 20 years ago in a neighborhood that wasn't new. Now, there are no fireflies there. Unless the die-off is very slow, my experience clashes with your report that their limited range / terraforming are to blame.
If the article is merely stating that terraforming has MORE of an impact than pesticides... well, that could be true merely because we build more than we spray.
