Actually, pre-contact Hawaii had no mosquitoes. Hawaii had no mosquitoes until 1826 brought in by English and American ships. There were also no termites, no gnats, no centipedes, no snails, no slugs, no rats. All, haole "gifts".
One thing about all this "sacred" garbage. That is the English word, which only approximates the Hawaiian word, kapu. These makaaina'na are abusing the word, as well as the haoles that try their version at translation.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
