    We are aware of the dictionary definition. OP was precisely about arguing that that definition is a based on a fallacy.

          I see. The word infested has nothing to do with being their natural habitats or not, it means that there’s plenty of an animal we don’t want for whatever reason, otherwise we would say that it is rich in those animals.

          Edit: Oh, second I see. The fallacy is that they are using a wrong definition that is creeping into a common use of the word not yet in the dictionary.
