what would it be? Well...it looks simple but it isn't cus everything is suppose to be "perfectly" balance...but I will say it! I would get rid of snakes! No, wait...roaches! I know this might sound ignorant but I just don't see the point of snakes! And roaches...well...they live under pretty much any weather condition. They eat anything if they have to. They can get frozen and even after they unfreeze, they are still alive like nothing happen! What would you eliminate? This is my first post...hope I get lucky! ; )

The fact is, everything and every creature has a place in the grand scheme of things. By completely getting rid of even one seemingly unimportant insect, it could cause a chain reaction in Mother Nature whereby entire eco-systems could collapse. Think about a bee for example. If we got rid of bee's our entire food chain would be disrupted, if not destroyed. As you're probably aware, the pollination process of bee's going from flower to flower contributes greatly in that way. That aside........I'd say I would LOVE to get rid of mosquitoes! I detest them! I can't think of any importance they have in the big picture. All they do is bite, suck blood, cause itchy patches on my skin and carry disease! Get rid of mosquitoes!

That's all true but what is the explanation for roaches to still be alive even after everything else has been extincted? It doesn't make any sense. But again, I'm talking out of ignorance. I just don't like them! T/K

Hey bhabycatch013!! Thanks so much for the welcome!! Yes, roaches are the worst!! Here, in my home, have to constantly be putting a special bug killer gel..but the day that I don't...they start appearing!! Ugh! I have a neighbor who isn't much of a clean-tidy type so his backyard is so messy! My kitchen is right next to it so I blame him for the roaches!! lol Anyways...thanks for the reply! t/k
