It's not nice to fool Mother Nature

We essentially eliminated smallpox, was that a bad thing? What about the screwworm which used to devastate live stock? Basically eliminated that as well. Most of the food we eat from plants to animals has been genetically modified. A thousand years ago, corn basically looked like wheat. What we are talking about here is modifying the genetics of the mosquito to make it's offspring sterile and essentially let them breed themselves out of existence. It could have unintended consequences, but so could just everything else we do in the modern world.

we also introduced asian grass carp to control vegetation. how'd that work out?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If we kill the mosquitoes we kill the bats. The bats quit depositing guano. If no guano there is no mascara. If there is no mascara we have ugly women. I HATE ugly women.

Good call Bob. Let's kill them too!

Best idea I have heard all day.

That's an old myth. Mascara is made from fish scales not bat [censored]. So I assume we have your vote now?

why do you hate bats? nazi.

No. Fish eat bats and mosquitoes so we will still have ugly women.

As a huge fan of natural selection, I say keep the mosquitos. We need them for population control.

Plus, if we eradicate mosquitos, in about 2 generations, kids will be wondering just what in the hell the Skeeter logo is supposed to be.

I asked this question several years ago. Tallgrass, I believe, said there wouldn’t be much if any ripple effect.

Correct, end game was not up to the avengers standards.

Technically speaking, it worked. The vegetation is FULLY under control.

According to what I read, of all species that have existed on Earth, 99.9 percent are now extinct. Chances are some were mosquito species. I'm for wiping out the rest.
