Do the benefits of eradication outweigh the risks?From the impact studies that attempt to model the effect of eradication of those particular species..it seems as though no person..and no part of "nature" would notice their disappearance. That the consequences, such as they are, are intended...not unintended. I try to kill any mosquitos on my property with far less rigorous research behind that compulsion...personally.
