Bring back DDT.
I am kinda suspicious of anyone who says vector control,
DDT makes me happy.
I always get a little concerned when people start shouting bring back DDT. DDT lost its label due to overuse and misuse (bad science also played a part). The overuse and misuse causes resistance and outbreaks of secondary pests.
While I think DDT should get a new label, I would have it as a RUP pesticide only for use in structures for interior residual spraying.
Nearly all outbreaks of Euynomous Scale and Crepe Myrtle Aphid I have seen are due to spraying of synthetic pyrethroids to control mosquitoes.
Rachael Carson has killed more people than any despot in the history of mankind.
“Silent Spring” is the reason we have no control over mosquito borne diseases, and the poor, brown, and black people have suffered the worst.
But, hey! who said liberalism doesn’t have good intentions
yes
