The answer is DDT! The mosquito population of the world was under control from the use of this insecticide as was Malaria until 1962 when the leftist tree hugger Rachael Carson wrote her book “Silent Spring”. Millions around the world have died because of the knee jerk reaction banning the use of DDT in mosquito control because of the allegations that were made in the book, many of which have never been substantiated by credible research.
