roaches serve a purpose
they eat the garbage other animals leave behind so disease doesnt spread

mosquitoes dont really do anything and just spread disease
IIRC scientists theorized that mosquitoes could be wiped out all together and nothing in the ecosystem would change as they dont contribute anything to it

Mosquitoes only exist to be a vector of disease. Burn em.

Mosquitos serve zero beneficial purpose to the animal kingdom or humanity.

Traditional Roaches are gross but they are otherwise completely harmless and they do consume waste that otherwise would just be laying around.

Mosquitos are just disease carrying vessels.

A better contest would be a choice between mosquitos and ticks.

Mosquito carry diseases to every animals including us human. They are even worse than the rats.

Roaches clean up the mess that are left behind from living things. In some country, they cook roaches for protein.

Ok good point.

But if I could banish one from my presence and dwelling place permanently, it would be roaches.

With global climate change basically guaranteed to cause widespread extinctions over the next century, there's not even the "need" for them to spread diseases that wipe out populations.

As much as roaches gross me out, I'd still wipe out mosquitoes instead if I could for reasons already mentioned.

Mosquitoes by far.

I recall there being some roach species occupying niches in tropical ecosystems and thus being beneficial to their balance. Getting rid of all roaches is going to deal a pretty significant blow to the ecology.

In contrast, 'beneficial mosquitoes' is an oxymoron.

Mosquitoes are not needed unlike roaches which are eaten in poorer countries.

Im hesitant to genocide any species due to unforeseen consequences, but mosquitoes are definitly more annoying that roaches

I mean you rarely even have to deal with roaches unless you're a slob or live in a very old house
