The problem with DDT is that it kills pretty much every insect with which it comes in contact, good, bad, indifferent, it just kills them. That includes insects that prey on other insects and pollinating insects. When you do something like this you may affect food chains in ways that may have worse consequences than the malaria, say, eliminating your pollinating insects and the local fruit crop.

As an alternative to DDT, there is a form of water bourn bacteria discovered by an Israeli scientist that specifically kill mosquito bacteria. The product is available in the US. It's smart to use nature against nature.

Yes, the mongoose was introduced to Hawaii and the folks there just love them.

If it kills every insect, would that include Jimmah Cahtah?
