Mosquitos are pollinators. And in some parts of the world that have extreme seasons that can't sustain bees, they seem rather important to the ecosystem.

Instead of eradicating them, genetically engineering away the numbing in their saliva that causes the allergic reaction in humans could be a solution.

I'll trade a couple weeks of itchy bites for a briefly painful bite any day.

Sure, humans would kill them instantly on feeling the bite, but most animals are not capable of that. Their populations would be fine.

Yeah, this idea scares me.

I thought they just didn’t breed in my habitat last time I moved— turns out they can breed here but they’re quite tightly managed.

What about house flies? Can we kill those too?

Mosquitos feed on apex predators and feed the nearly bottom of the food chain. Imo they're up there with salmon in terms of nutrient transfer, absolutely would cause chaos at all levels if they were eliminated.
