Poison ivy.

K. [killer bees is good too, though]

Mosquitoes!

(Killer bees are way over-hyped. They were originally called assassin bees (in Spanish) because they killed other bees, not humans.)

Yeah, but they're enough of a niche product that the ecology wouldn't really miss them.

Eliminating mosquitoes, on the other hand, would probably have all sorts of unforeseen consequences.

Yeah. A lot of things eat mosquitos. I don't think I'd strike anything from nature - but there are a lot of things I'd ban from my immediate vicinity.
