    But are we capable of only wiping out the human biting mosquitos without affecting other mosquitos, or even other insects?

      Same way we get boll weavils.

      Sterilize a ton of mosquitoes, release them into the wild, and have them compete against fertile ones. Over time, the population decreases.
