Hard agree
Terrible idea if you are serious i have had people seriously suggest trying to do this it would be terrible on the ecosystem that feeds on them and their eggs including for example already engendered amphibians and that’s just what we can predict.
Wasn’t there a study recently that debunked the claim that mosquitoes were actually important?
They’ve gone back and forth. I think if you large-picture it, it’s pretty OK, something like 15% of bird and bat diets come from mosquitos. But at the micro level, some species may not cope. I am very fond of bats so I am ambivalent about this.
All these studies also preface this with the fact we are hardly arrogant to believe we have the knowledge to accurately predict all possible consequence. Either way this idea is weaker than the moral objection.
also not all mosquitoes drink blood
Too bad there are thousands of species. Bro’s going for a mass extinction.

Yes, someone thinks about the poor Malaria, Dengue and other bacterias, also with a right of life?
I was Uruguay out in the country. There were more mosquitos that I’d ever had to deal with. I decided to let them bite me. Eventually they’ll figure out that this blood isn’t worth their time or something and just give up.
The next three days really sucked.
Not as much as those 'quitoes!
I’ll see myself out
I visited my friend for two days in VA the past week and got murdered by mosquitoes
These east coast mosquitoes have hands and I was not prepared
They are so bad this year. Wtf is going on?
Literally climate change.

Weather has a big impact on mosquito numbers & feeding behavior:
- Cooler temperatures = more mosquitoes
- Higher humidity = more mosquitoes
- More rainfall = more mosquitoes (for some species)

Climate is moving north, thus your area is likely getting wetter and more humid.

You might want to check that, the cool factor has been measured across several studies as per my links. ;) They have pretty concrete temperature boundaries.
In the trail near my home they are downright relentless. It’s a popular place people go why are you biting me as if you’ll starve.
The ladies are the biters. Not the guys.
That’s why I am a girls’ girl.
