It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. Animals who feed on mosquitoes could die out too. From Google:

Bats. Birds. Turtles ... Dragonflies..... Damselflies. ... Fish. Goldfish, guppies, bass, bluegill and catfish (mosquito larvae)...

Animals who feed on mosquitoes could die out too

If it isn't used, people could die out. There aren't enough bats controlling the mosquito population as far as I can see. Malaria is such an insidious disease. Furthermore, some types of malaria can lead to a person, especially a child, developing a certain type of lymphoma.

I state all this as a survivor of perhaps 50 cases of malaria, mostly tersiana, but a handful of tropica types thrown in. I've also survived at least two cases of dengue fever. While that is caused by a different type of mosquito, it is still spread by a mosquito. More needs to be done to erradicate the problem. (No, I don't think the US needs to be throwing money at it.)
