Probably using DDT but concealing that fat so as to to set off a global embargo.

Dying off from AIDS? Yes, a serious question.

Most animal populations have natural booms and busts. See what the skeeter population is in five years or so.

Good luck. lol

All them lakes and ponds.. and puddles ... I don’t miss the skeeters, I miss the ice fishing tho and if the crappies and walleyes are biting , ya can endure a little nip or two.. wifey swells up if a skeeter bites her and she hates the cold tho, she’s an island girl.. but even Hawaii has skeeters ..

I visited drier climes in AFRika and Middle East in the 80s, never swatted one the whole time.. but I never was in the rain forest and damper areas either, unfortunately. That’s where the real wild life hang out..

Lack of food,Most likely as dry denuded earth cannot support much life.

minnesota needs mosquitoes. Fish eat mosquito larva so if there was a drop in mosquitoes, fish would starve, and minnesota would lose tourism from vacationing fishermen.

Malaria exists only because it has fresh victims.
Africans are more likely to be immune to Caralie mosquito bites...

Drat.

Now the collectivists are going to have to use some other means of killing millions of Africans.
