Look, I hate mosquitos with a vengeance, I'm quite allergic to them and each bite results in multiple days to weeks of misery.
That said, I remain very skeptical of this approach as other species are dependent on these little nasty ones, and I don't believe we have a good grasp on what the second-order effects will be when we start eradicating species with such a large presence.
