It has been proven Mosquitoes extinction won't in anyway affect the eco system. All those advantages you listed is been done by other organisms and thus life goes on.

So much false info in one post.

Let me address just one.

Mosquitoes require stagnant water for their larvae so I wonder how many fishes live in stagnant water? Are rivers, streams and oceans now stagnant water?

I use to ask myself what's is the importance of mosquito in the eco system because I find out no matter how you try you can never completely eradicate those annoying little creatures. from my little research here is what I found out:

1.Mosquitoes are prey,and preys are very important in our complex eco system,the mosquitoes larvae in the sea bodies form those slimy greenish stuff that fishes and other aquatic creatures depend/feed on for survival. Everyone knows the importance of fishes in our diet and business. Water bodies would be empty without fishes that feed on larvae.

2.Mosquitoes aids in pollination of plants,they suck plants juices transferring one very tiny pollen from one plant to another. And we all know the importance of cross pollination.

3.Snakes, anthropoids,lizards,frogs,wall geckos etc prey on mosquitoes.

4.They were made to disturb the heck out of us. yes they are about 3500 species of mosquitoes transferring diseases to humans aside malaria there are other countless diseases transferred by mosquitoes.
According to WHO every year more than one million people die from mosquito related illness worldwide. So therefore mosquitoes help in population control. YES!!!!

So what's is the best method in the prevention of mosquito bites. Across the country the cost of mosquito insecticide is becoming unaffordable, aside the price,prolonged usage of insecticide is detrimental to health(I am not De marketing insecticide o). To me the best mosquito prevention method is the use of treated mosquito nets.

Sometimes I also take my time and physically eliminate them with my hands before sleeping.

Keeping the gutters and our environment clean is another way to eliminate mosquitoes.

N.B: Please if you have an idea of where people can get treated mosquito nets,drop the info in the comment section.

On a serious note, Africa could eradicate mosquitos if they so desire. America had same challenge, but shortly after World War 2, they embarked on the journey towards eradication of mosquitos in America! Mosquito infestation is now history in the US!

Nigeria and Africa could do same...

Thanks for the research, but mosquito has no importance to human race, do you know malaria endemic regions is correlated with poverty, if you calculate the man hour lost due to malaria infection, school absentism, finance used in buying drugs and keeping up with the preventive methods. these aforementioned effects of malaria on mankind can really improve the economic status of man.

On habitats, mosquito larvae are not found in seas, rather they breed in stagnant water, that is why it is very advisable to discard any empty cans or tyres properly, while bushes harbours them. You may ask how they breed on farmlands, they are so many agricultural activities of human that can lead to water retention eg foot prints, and when mosquito breed they breed in thousands.

It is a fact that male mosquitoes that feeds on nectar can help pollination, we have so many social insect and bees that can perfectly help in that like butterflies, bees and birds, mosquitoes is rarely found in Europe but they are flourishing so well in agriculture. compare to the kinda menace ( west Nile virus, zika virus, lymphatic filariasis aka elephantiasis, chikugunya disease, malaria etc) they cause to mankind, it's best we eradicate mosquito/ malaria.


The use of insecticide is really a problem because of mosquito adaptation and effects on human health, so the best approach is the use of integrated approach, that is clearing of bushes, discarding of empty cans and the use of insecticide treated nets which has proven to be very effective in control of malaria, ITN has the ability to kill mosquitoes because of the insecticide properties the net possesses and also deprive mosquito and human contact, hence preventing them from feeding, we have two types of ITN, conventional treated nets that needs treatment every 6 months and the long lasting insecticide nets that can be treated every 3 to 5 years. chemotherapy should be last resort of malaria control

About the sources of this nets, clinics/ hospitals is the best place to get them, with them you are sure of long lasting insecticide treated nets. it is given for free during antenatal visit for pregnant women because of their susceptibility.

I'm currently controlling mosquitoes in my area with the insecticide treated net, along with "Raid," we are in the season these insects are most rampant. Mosquitoes gave me a heck of a trouble before I placed these nets in front of our doors. Mosquito's bites demean human life quality in so many ways, once I get bitten once I become less active, less efficient and less interested in whatever I'm doing. The deadly effect of a mosquito's bite can send one into fatigue in a moment, even if it hasn't developed into a malaria infection. So I don't see any benefits of these deadly parasites in human. My own response sign to a mosquito's bite is sneezing, it can come and go profusely just at the time I'm trying to be focused in something, I also think mosquitoes affect human brain based on how my body responds to its bites.

This insect is a nightmare to me.

I stopped reading when I got to this part.

The "greenish stuff" you referred to is called algae. They are not produced or formed by mosquito larvae. Algae are actually plants (not animals) The green pigment is from chlorophyll.

Wondering if its worth reading any further now. Your first point spoiled it.
I swear. The moderator that pushed this crap to the front-page is as ignorant as the OP.

Please do a proper research, I do however agree that there is an important role mosquito do play in the Eco system, else they would have been extinct.
