I have some carefully stored DDT. It's completely worthless. I've sprayed it directly on bugs, and the only danger they faced was drowning.

I have no doubt that the DDT was potent when manufactured. But the notion that it doesn't break down is nonsense. It's broken down in a sealed container in powder form.

Bring it back, now.

But, but, but... it made the baby egg shells thin on Bald Eagles, Condors and other buzzards.
(yes, the eagle is in the buzzard family which is why Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey and not the Turkey Buzzard as national symbol)
(If he could see the three turkeys from Con-gress over in Iraq today acting like buzzards, he would've changed his mind again)

How was it sealed? Was it a hermetic barrier?
