If you could wipe out one insect forever: mosquito, roach or wasp?

I would have to go with the wasp. The others avoid me but wasps just keep coming.

Write-ins allowed, but don’t say Biden, Pelosi, et al, because technically they aren’t insects.

Got to go with wasp for sure. Stepped in a hornet’s nest when I was three, and that developed an extreme phobia of them and I am to some extent now allergic to them. Swell up big time if I’m strung and turns incredibly red.

Mosquitoes bro, is this even a question? Humidity doesn’t really bother me, just those things.

I can deal with mosquitos and we don't have wasps.

I would wipe out this new variant the liquid rabbit for even conjuring this up!

Mosquitoes born diseases kill a million people a year.

mosquitos

Wasps, except the all red ones and the few highly aggressive ones, kill garden and lawn pests. I have scads of wasps around my house. They wipe out caterpillars, june bugs, etc. and no one has ever been stung.

I do decimate the large red wasps, but I rarely see them because the black paper wasps keep them away.

ETA: Arizona Paper Wasps, a/k/a Mahogany Wasps (smaller wasps with yellow banded red abdomens) are the best. I had cabbage worms wrecking my hibiscus blooms and I started to see the Mahogany Wasps in the plants (they move leaf to leaf quickly and are very aggressive on their caterpillar hunts). Three days alter, no more bored out blooms.

Mosquito. They make being outside brutal and they’re hard to avoid based on where you live.

Keep a clean house and you won’t see roaches very often.

Who cares about wasps

People are discounting how important mosquitos are for the food chain. Bats would take a major hit if they were gone.

Obviously mosquito is the correct answer. How can anybody say any different?

Fire ants a very close second.

Roach??

But...but...that's part of our essential future food supply.
