Wrong. Again and again repeating the same wrong idea.
Mosquito larvae are aquatic, and the prey of freshwater fishes, toads, frogs, bats... they are directly or indirectly linked with almost everything around marshes and lakes: bacteria, algae, birds. We can expect a tsunami of unpredictable consequences for freshwater ecosystems and also for men. What if we wipe mosquito only to discover that they are necessary to controlling amoeba proliferation in water, for example?. We don't know.
