too much responsibility... So many species are connected to each other.

But, I'd love to get rid of ticks without ruining any natural balance. They carry disease, get on my dog all the time and other people's pets and livestock, I live in tick country. I've only been bitten twice but it's really stressful.

Ticks, poisonous spiders, poisonous snakes, mosquitoes that carry West Nile, wasps, and yellow jackets. I'm fine with sweat bees, but I hate yellow jackets!

You're in luck I'm pretty sure there are no poisonous snakes or spiders.
Venomous snakes and spiders on the other hand...

If I had a button that could wipe out most/all humans... I wouldn't do it, but I'd sure think long and hard about it.

Insects. They're just pests, I'd want them gone.

Well, say bye to life as you know it because it would be gone in days without insects.

I think I'm with Indigo- if I were to wipe out anything it would be viruses. They are parasites by nature which are wholy self-serving and have little useful place in the ecosystem. Think of all the diseases that would instantly be cured.....

Otherwise, none. Every creare great and small has a place. Even flies and mosquitos. Birds and other animals eat them. Would hate to see the lovely tree frogs dragonflies and flycatchers go.....

Whatever. You know that's what I meant. But nitpick all you want since you have nothing else better to do.

When I was young we had a couple dogs that got fleas. The house ended up being totally infested! It took over a month to eliminate those little monsters! To this Day I'm terrified of those little bloodsuckers!

If they were to disappear off the face of the Earth I would be pretty happy.
