They have actually exhaustively studied this, and they offer zero benefit, they aren't even a good food source for any known animal.

The risks associated with mosquito eradication are extremely low.

That's like the only bug that's like that. The rest are crazy important to their ecosystems.

Huge food source for cockroaches, which are in turn a huge food source for birds and small mammals.

They live fucking everywhere too, including in caves and drainage systems.
