This has been a common sentiment but it hasn’t been proven in any substantial way to my knowledge. I personally doubt it’s accurate. That’s not to say the entire ecosystem would collapse but there would likely be consequences.

That said, the other commenter is correct that there are many introduced mosquito species that could probably be eradicated from their non-native range without major ecological harm. And the species that are the worst pests in human cities tend to be introduced, so eliminating them might significantly reduce the level of bites and disease transmission for people.

I think that’s true for the Aedes egypti species at least, they’re not native in the Americas and are a main disease-spreading species

Invasive where? They can’t be invasive in general

Smoking roaches gets you high.

There are thousands of species of cockroach on earth, and like a dozen that can be invasive in human homes. It’s okay to kill the invasive ones, there wouldn’t be as many of them in as many places without us anyway.

The mosquito thing is known to be false, and people only ever talk about extinguishing half a dozen species of them at most, that are invasive on most parts.

I’m willing to pump up other insects to get rid of mosquitoes

The mosquito one is absolutely BS, there’s 6k+ species of mosquitoes but only like a couple bite humans

The bats and shit will be fine, it’s time to eradicate mosquitoes!

Statistics on bug food??? For birds and plants??? Do you want the whole thing dumped here in the comments? Or do you mean “do birds eat insects”? Yes. A lot.

Diets are highly species specific, but mosquitos are generally less than 3% of the diet for most birds and bats. Too small, don’t fly around at the correct time of day/night, and pretty agile, so they aren’t supper important for most birds and bats.

Also, usually they hatch in the billions all at once and die within a few weeks so there’s a very limited amount of time that they even can be preyed on as food. Their strategy (many of them, not all species) is to overwhelm any predators with numbers.

Humanity is the CEO of earth.

Counterpoint: animals which are clearly not intelligently designed, like pandas and horses

How about they all die in a chicken tummy

There would be no one left to value it as such. It would simply continue to exist.

Tremendously! We’re like a tumour

Wasps are actually pretty cool by in large. I’ve only been stung twice by them. Once when I was a kid and it sucked and also don’t remember what I was doing. The most recent time was a few weeks ago. They built a nest in the control area of a dryer I was selling. I stuck my hand right up in their nest, and felt what I thought was electric shocks despite this dryer being unplugged for a few days. I don’t blame them and the pain subsided in minutes(also wasn’t very bad to begin with). And they are a critical player in agricultural pest control. I run into wasps all the time and have only been stung twice in forty years. Wasps, like spiders, are bros as far as I’m concerned.
