Well it seems mosquitos have been eradicated over and over in this thread but why not once again.
I absolutely hate mosquitos, so they are my choice as well. No matter what I always end up being the best host when out at night. It sucks when my friends hardly get bitten but I end up covered with bites.
My best mosquito kill:
To this day the best was when there was a mosquito in the house and I took a newspaper rolled it up and hit a home run. First swing I nailed that little bugger and he splattered against the wall. My mom was a little angry the wall was just painted. Plus it was a little gross but yet so satisfying.

Religious EXTREMISTS, of all kinds. If you can't find a way to get along on this planet without creating devastation and inciting violence in the name of your precious, uncompromising, unprovable beliefs than I think you don't deserve to be here.
I don't need nor want to do anything though, these people will eventually eradicate themselves. The poetic justice of evolution - the very thing many religious fundies stubbornly refute is the very thing that will slowly decline their kind and their beliefs. Eventually there will come a day when only a complete moron or a crazy person would believe any of the drivel religion offers. I don't know if we'll be a more peaceful species for it (I doubt it) but I do long for the epidemic mind virus to be "cured" and wish I could see it in my lifetime.
Lighthearted answer? Wasps. Sadistic little pests. I'd be more than happy to replace their numbers with honey bees.

I wouldn't get rid of any entire species...too much potential for harm to our delicately-balanced ecosystem.
We could probably do without the non-sentient part of the human race, such as conservatives, religious extremists and reality-TV producers.

Suddenly, you find yourself possessed with the power to totally rid the planet of one species, one creature. This is your chance. You lift your face to the moonless night and laugh a shrill cry of victory, for you are about to cause the extinction of....
What? What is your candidate for the #1 "We'd be better of without" list?
Fleas?
Lice?
Cockroaches?
Republicans? (ok, just kidding
Democrats? (equal time
Mosquitos?
Humans?
What would you kill off? And if you feel like it, why?

Original question in OP. BEHOLD MY POWER!
Bea beat you to it.

Humans, all humans would have to go. Since we are doing a pretty good job of eradicating everything else on the planet with our arrogance.
Hmmmmm, I change my mind. Hornets. This one to be exact-Asian Giant Hornet *Shudders*
There's this rather popular YouTube clip that shows just 30 of these hornets attacking a thousands-strong beehive. In a matter of an afternoon, the bees were completely wiped out.
Hornets are not to be taken lightly. In fact, I'm not sure how the person who owns the hand in that picture allowed one to get that close. Yeesh.
Career politicians.
I propose an amendment to the US Constitution that would modify the 8th amendment (freedom from "cruel & unusual punishment") to specifically exclude elected officials while in office.
This so that if you're an elected official with enough doubt cast on your character to get indicted for something, you shall be required to tatoo the words "PUBLIC SERVANT" on your forehead* if you wish to remain in office, or resign.
