“When you’re omnipotent, the option of stopping the annoyance without harming anyone is just as easy as stopping the annoyance by making everyone involved suddenly vanish.”
Omnipotent is not an accurate description. The exterminators would probably be more like humans, if we were mosquitoes: they kill us if we get too close. Or they put up a trap for us to fly into and die. Mosquitoes bite, causing annoyance, and humans, too, could bite the exterminators (e.g. try to overthrow them?) so they’d rather just get rid of the annoyance before we do anything drastic.
Edit: Actually after thinking about it I think we might be more like bacteria/fungi, cuz we might consume or poison their food (resources like energy or matter).
