And deploy a triple dose of it on the District of Corruption.
Do not rinse but definitely reapply a 2nd and 3rd triple dose over the next two days.
Pray for it’s effectiveness.
"They" should have done that when the Formosan termite was first discovered in the US.
They do this for lice. I doubt it would ever work for mosquitoes.
Yep, my dad served for 3 years in the S.Pacific during WW2. They doused the island natives with DDT for lice and other parasites.
In NW FL in the ‘60s, dog flies were a problem for beach goers, the bites are pretty painful. Some were convinced the dog flies bred in sea weed that washed up along the bays (they actually bred in nearby farmland).
There was a program to spray the bay seaweed, using motorboats that had a 55 gallon drum of DDT on board . I worked on one of the boats in high school as a summer job. We never used all the DDT in the drum. We’d just leave the sprayer motor running, clamp open the trigger on the hand sprayer, toss it over the side of the boat as we headed back to truck at the end of the day. It would take a half hour, at least, to get back to the truck, by which time the left over DDT had been pumped into the bay. The older guys who were in charge said it looked better if we used all the DDT, so we always came back with an empty drum.
The US used to import a really effective bug killer from Germany. Called Zyclon.
