OMG! Rachel Carson is rolling over in her grave.

[MrEdd]

Poetry in motion.

[Bonemaker]

Just another thing for politicians to ban.

[Dr. Sivana]

On top of that, just like in people, the dead mosquitoes have few cavities!

[RummyChick]

I am so paranoid about bedbugs I don’t even like to travel anymore

Bring back something that will kill them

[Candor7]

BRING BACK DFDT!

[Tijeras_Slim]

You have to admit that postwar the Germans didn’t have the best reputation for insecticide use.

[colorado tanker]

Original DDT is perfectly safe, but the envirowackos refuse to admit Rachel Carson was peddling junk science. They’ve caused millions of malaria deaths.

[DannyTN]

I’ll keep that in mind next time German insects come around.

[G Larry]

DDT was great until they discovered that it was saving millions of third world lives.

So they invented a lie in order to ban it world wide.

Only in America was it being used in excess.

[ptsal]

Fast-acting insecticide.... otherwise known as nerve gas.

The Syrian embassy can provide details on applied use and dosage. /s

[grey_whiskers]

A mosquito wad heard to exclaim,
"I fear they have addled my brain!"
"The cause of my sorrow
is para-dichloro
diphenyl-trichloroethane!"

I’m sorry to say that when I read the headline (before reading the article), the first thing that popped into my head was ‘Zyklon B’.

[MacMattico]

So DFDT was ignored, Dr Aspberger’s early research on Autism was largely ignored for years— but Thalidomide was fast tracked, especially in places like the UK with horrible consequences. What’s wrong with this picture?

[Zhang Fei]

And there I was, thinking they were talking about Zyklon B.

[deweyfrank]

I loved the smell of DDT in the evening!

fluorine is a very stable atom, I would be worried about this building up in the environment but I am sure it works great
