How do you kill the Ithkul

How do you kill the Ithkul. I wish I could have at least one game without them in it.

[Whoha]

Pre-glass each and every planet that they are on.

Problem:Mixed race planets where ithkul are not the majority and non-colonized planets with an ithkul pop from a long dead empire.

For mixed race planets, if it is near the source of the ithkul contamination, just glass it.

For ithkul pop on a planet not associated with any empire, settle the planet and give it to someone else, then glass it.

Or just don't worry about it, they won't get on to fully developed worlds, and have pretty good bonuses(I of course just glass them because I want either my people who are superior manufacturers, or the rhea on every planet).

If they implemented Ithkul correctly and had ithkulized versions of every race that kept the same bonuses/terraforming and perhaps even added some of their own...
