No.
Basically, Ares was made aware of a major potential threat from insect spirits (adventure: Queen Euphoria), and kept track of it for the next couple years (sourcebook/adventure: Universal Brotherhood/Missing Blood). Eventually they had enough evidence that the Universal Brotherhood organization was a front for organized insect spirits to spread their hives, and took steps (adventure: Double Exposure) to shut it down. During one such 'hit', Ares and Knight Errant hit a hive that was considerably bigger than expected, which turned a huge part of the core area of Chicago into a chaotic, bug-spirit-infested feral city; elements of KE still within the place soon discovered a massive hive about to release thousands more bug spirits and, having a briefcase-nuke Ares had in the zone, sent it down into the hive and detonated it (sourcebook: Bug City, novel: Burning Bright).
Over the years following, Ares has done some cleanup, including hitting every bug spirit they saw with FAB-III, and eventually declared Chicago 'clean' - even if it really wasn't (sourcebook: Target: UCAS). While it is relatively better than its Bug City days, Chicago has still been a cesspit (sourcebook: Feral Cities). Ares, in its quest to kill bugs better, started going 'hmmm, what if we could ...' and has been doing experiments on trying to make insect spirits 'useful and profitable' (various sourcebooks, including Threats 2); the bit with Roger Soaring-Owl is all about precisely that.
