I only took a quick skim through the video until after work, but my initial impressions are no. As far as I am aware there are thousands of species of insects that fall under the term "mosquito". Making thousands of species extinct is going to have catastrophic ecological results. I know some are pollinators and surely they must be a major food source for some animals.

I don't love them either, but we probably can't just eliminate them safely. I would say we could just move somewhere without them, but I don't think we would all fit in Iceland.

They are neither primary pollinators or good food sources.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
