    I don’t care about cockroaches, they do not worry me much. I also do not care about like 95% of mosquito species which do not “annoy” humans. I just want the remaining 5% to vanish

      Cockroaches do a lot of litter cleanup out in nature. I worry about what might happen if they vanished. But those malaria mosquitoes can fuck right off to Hell as far as I’m concerned.

      And I’m pretty sure there have been studies that suggest that eliminating that 5% wouldn’t have a significant environmental impact.

        that would be great. more than disturbing balance, the 5% basically hits the poor only. reach either live in places where the 5% do not reach them, or they can be treated.
