You could make the assumption that all Sparks have a Spark ancestor in their family tree and exterminate everyone related to a Spark (Which is a lot of people. For example the former Master of Paris and his vast extended family only some of whom are sparks. Or Ghengis Ht'rok-din founder of the Heterodyne family is clearly at least partially a Ghengis Khan expy. Imagine how many descendants he has that don't know it.) and it still might not even work because we don't know where the first Sparks came from at the start.
And this is why Klaus not only sought how to suppress the spark but to find its true nature along with a reliable test for spark potential. And the sparks that did not go on a rampage yet? As someone once said, he was very good at finding the right monster for the right job.
