I would not want to see things like this done to the overwhelming majority of living things. But mosquitoes, I say let them starve.

I mean, I hate mosquitoes as much as the next guy, but that sounds like a great way to destroy whole ecosystems that rely on mosquitoes as a food source.

Of all the creatures big and small we've driven extinct, mosquitoes will not likely be the one that breaks the camel's back.
