If you kill all the insects ( ants , bees, etc) on an island that is far far away from another coast, you will likely end insect population of its for thousands of years, amirite?

This has happened in the past (Krakatoa) and it wouldn't even take one year.

If you kill all the insects you'll end their population forever.

Yeah but easier to achieve on a small island

Sure, but you said likely and it's not likely, it's a guarantee.

Not only that, but the islands ecosystem would collapse after a few seasons and eventually the entire island will die.

1. That's a lot of work for one man. 2. I'd never do that. 3. I'm assuming other humans will visit, and we are great about bringing invasive species... So we will have it repopulated quick... Especially with roaches

You would likely also drive several species into extinction since distant islands generally evolve species found nowhere else
