The ecosystem is delicately balanced and any time humans decide to play God and mess with it, things start getting effed up.

If you’re going to eradicate mosquitoes, many different fish species will starve to death as they feed off of mosquito larvae in water. This in turn affects the bigger fish going up the food chain.

Not to mention birds that also eat said fish, that are now without food.
