Humans have an awful record of shortsightedness and unforeseen consequences. While yes, mosquitoes have the highest humam kill rate of any other thing that can kill people, it can be mitigated or eliminated with adequate sanitation and healthcare access for communities being harassed by mosquitoes.
The better solution to the ails caused by these insects is to improve drainage and sanitation infrastructure, build hospitals and clinics, and enact policy which gives access to this infrastructure to everyone without exception.
We have exterminated parasites before, why can’t we do it again? I don’t see many people going up to bat for the Guinea Worm. Also all of that is wonderful and all, but natural land features such as wetland, swamps, floodplains, and river deltas prevent that from working.
What are you going to do? Drain a wetland or pour kerosene into it and cause devastating damage to the local ecosystem and human population? Well that’s the only way to contain mosquitos naturally.
