Can't do that. It was banned by the government for a reason.



It worked.

And here come the DDT lovers again who claim it’s harmless. The same folks who probably still believe cigarette smoking isn’t harmful.

More DDT = fewer birds.

Fewer birds = MORE disease carrying insects.

More insects = MORE harmful artificial chemicals that poison our water, land, and food sources, both animal and vegetable.

And you do realize more and more mosquito populations are becoming fully immune to DDT, don’t you?
