Actually mosquitoes are a major food source for other animals.

And wasps are a major aspect of nature's dead creatures cleanup crew.

Tics we can eradicate tho. They are also a food source but afaik not nearly as big as mosquitoes

Just make good enough solar panels that can run machines to turn your faeces into Tasty Wheat and all your excreted gases into useful ones and you can get rid of all the animals and insects you want.
Oh and you will need to cover the top of your structures on Earth with them and constantly maintain them against environmental wear and also make sure you have enough energy required for continuous micro-terraforming required to keep the place habitable for humans after the following ecological collapse.
