One article I turn up notes:

"DDT kills insects by opening sodium ion channels in their neurons (nerve cells), leading to spasms and eventual death. ..."

I have a sort of a hard time seeing how anything could become immune to that...

They do it by developing mechanisms for sequestering and eliminating the offending substance from their bodies.

I appreciate the information you are sharing with us.

That it doesn’t kill bedbugs, I have never believed. It is a hoax like global warming.

Thank you for sharing your time and homework with us.

Please continue to keep us non believers informed that DDT doen’t kill bedbugs.

Thank you again.
