Wasn't that already proven to be BS?
Yes
Nonetheless this will infuriate the PC enviro-crowd.........Teehee.
True, however manufacturers of DDT and other effective pesticides were nailed in post production by the EPA, Superfund, other agencies and law suits over perceived or otherwise poor environmental practices. I would personally doubt any company would want to make it again. Now a company in a country that has little or no environmental responsibility could make a reasonable profit..BTW, They could also make nerve agents as a by-product.
I remember living in a nice apartmemt in Queens, NY that was cockroach free. The building had an incincerator and tossed garbage was constantly burned. Then the environs said this was dangerous to the air. So we wound up with no incincerators and roaches came by the millions. We moved because it was so hideous. We eventually moved upstate New York where we have some spiders and some mice (which our cats take care of), but nothing like horrible roaches.
