All are more difficult to target. Breeding a gazillion male rats that can't produce offspring is harder than raising corresponding number of mosquitos.
Ignoring implementation difficulties, do you see any problems with a progression like that?
According to Wikipedia out of over 3,000 species of lice 3 are classified as human disease agents. I see no problem getting rid of those three species.
Bed bugs certainly have no business being in human rooms, but I don't know much about them. I won't miss them.
Cockroaches on the other hand don't harm humans. They might not look nice, but I don't see them as problems. As far as rats go, I don't think they have a place in human cities I would prefer a canalisation system designed in a way that rats don't have a place.
I don't have an issue with rats outside of human cities.
