    Most modern plans for eradication involve creating a virus that handles it, rather than a pesticide.
    Have the virus introduce a gene that takes a few generations of breeding in the impacted population before it starts to debilitate or sterilize the mosquitoes. That way your virus can start to kill the population even as it spreads to areas that were missed.
