There are multiple mosquito species in each area and these control efforts only target a couple of species that are human disease vectors. Even if these specific species went extinct it would not significantly impact other creatures that prey on mosquitos. Previous eradication efforts used pesticides and impacts all mosquito species and lots of other creatures, as well. Using genetic targeting like this is much lower impact. The main question is whether it will be effective.
