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

I get that wasps are stingers, don't add value like honeybees, and can be very aggressive and persistent.
Wasps may very well pollinate just as much or even more than honeybees. Some wasps are better pollinators than honeybees.
We hear about the danger of wiping out the honeybee, but getting rid of wasps could be an even bigger deal.

I get stung by wasps like every other year, find a roach in the house like once a year, and get bit by mosquitoes multiple times a day…easy answer.

Democrats. Insects serve some purpose in the food chain.

Ummm a single bat can eat thousands of mosquitoes in a single night.

100% roach. Wasps I've only been stung a handful of times in my life so they don't really bother me and I've learned to live with mosquitos
But frick roaches they are the only ones that invade your house with their disgusting selves

Do you live in the arctic? I’m not sure what you want me to say man. Bats inhabit most of the world. The entire United States. There’s MILLIONS here. I guarantee you have bats around you. Just because you’ve never seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happe.

I am deathly afraid of wasps and mosquito is definitely the answer here

Mosquitoes but I hate a friggin house fly too!

None. Ecosystem. And there’s not a species on this earth that has made me want to wipe them out.

Roach.those are nasty frickers.
I don't even notice mosquitos, especially here in Texas. People here complain about them and I'm like, I grew up in a swamp, these mosquitos here aren't anything.
I don't notice wasps either. Ms Noonan freaks out about them. Stands at the door with wasp spray in hand waiting for them to leave. I was stung a ton as a kid, these days if I need to go clear out a bush or something that has wasps I just go straight in and doing it knowing I'll likely get stung, but I rarely do.

Mosquitos easily. Would make hunting much more enjoyable in early season

Roaches are pretty important for the Earth's nitrogen cycle. And while mosquitos are the leading cause of human deaths worldwide, they still are a vital part of the food chain. So my vote is wasps... useless, aggressive fricks.

People are discounting how important mosquitos are for the food chain. Bats would take a major hit if they were gone.
Get rid of mosquitoes and let the bats switch to eating roaches. Erbody happy.
