IF I could commit complete genocide on any species inhabiting the planet it would definitely be the mosquito. I've thought it through and I don't feel there would be any massive ecological fallout and frankly even if it did mean the end of the world I would die happen knowing I was free from those blood sucking little beasts. The past couple of days in school I have been plagued by them as I sit at my desk which happens to be directly in front of a window which opens out onto the school's koi pond. Needless to say their genocide doesn't bother me in the least. That is all.

We have a patient who spent a lot of time in Alaska and he swears that plain old Listerine is the best mosquito repellant there is. So pick up some mouthwash!! I think Mary would help you kill them off and I think bats eats hundreds of them in a night, so maybe get a bat house? Are there even bats in Japan? On a more serious note, are you using repellant- I think they carry things worse than West Nile over there. Be careful.

While I'm sure there would be some major negative follow on effects in the ecosystem, a major benefit would be about a million less human deaths from malaria each year.
