Mosquitos are a legitimate, serious problem in some parts of the world as fatal disease vectors. I don't know enough about their role in the ecosystem to know whether it's okay to wipe them out, but considering the number of human lives they claim every year through spreading disease I'd happily go that route myself.

As far as I know birds eat them. A lot. But then again, birds eat other stuff, too.

same with ticks. Fuck ticks. blood sucking assholes spreading dissease. Some species can cause paralyses in victims, others can induce meat allergyes, many carry a verity of hellish viral bacterial and protozoen infections.
