Its the soft egg shells.
Yes, banning things that actually benefit people happens when liberals are in charge.
But the birds!!!
I agree. Several million people have died because of the greenies and their trumped up claims about how bad DDT is.
Many billions will suffer and probably more millions will die if people take the Climate Change Scam as far as the environazis would like it to go.
Oooohhh, suuuuuurrre, now that First Worlders are threatened we can consider it again!!!
WELL DUH..and no need for skeeter nets in Africa..
Duh.
My understanding is that there is no valid science behind banning it in the first place; That it was an ill-informed, unilateral decision by a bureaucrat in charge of the EPA.
Do some even read?? DDT causes more frequent, and WORSE, birth defects. No. No DDT.
Good Lord.
Rachael Carson? Did she get buried with a spatula?
Or was that another Rachael I’m thinking of?
“If they can ban DDT, they can ban anything.” And that’s how the EPA power grab started. Millions of African babies have died and are still dying of malaria because if it.”
Exactly, “Millions of African babies have died and are still dying of malaria because if it” population control. That’s why DDT was banned and why it will not be used against “Zika”.
Rachel Carson is the biggest mass-murderer in history. Only Mao comes close, but his body count is shy by 50 million or so.
Progressives are all about death, but like to couch it in the term, “population control.” They have no problem with the perpetuation of malaria in the third world.
if the government starts spraying something in the air, and telling us it’s for our “health”, forgive me if I don’t believe them.
This has been infinitely more disastrous. Several million people die needlessly each and every year because of the unilateral action of a single government agency official. The phony Global Warming hysteria has not caused any deaths, grueling or otherwise. Yes, several respectable scientists have lost their jobs, but the most serious injury has been to the wallets and purses of duped taxpayers.
Everybody put a bucket of water outside with some clorox in the water. Watch the larva die by the millions! All it takes is about 2 inches of water with 1 tbsp of clorox. You have to keep up with it though, because the clorox evaporates out after a few days.
Got a small water feature? Add some goldfish or mosquito fish. People who keep garden ponds know that their mosquito pests are much less than those who don’t because the fish eat the larva if the water isn’t moving much.
It’s small scale of course, but it saves a bunch of spraying, AND is effective. Every little bit helps.
When I was a kid we’d run or ride our bikes behind the DDT spraying truck. Couldn’t see in front of you more than a few feet. Ran into lots of parked cars. And I’ve live to be 64 so far.
Didn’t rachel believe in all the overcrowding, ZPG bs also?
Plain dopey!
KYPD
The DDT ban is also responsible for the resurgence of bedbugs. There isn’t anything else that can effectively kill them.
I AGREE, BRING BACK DDT. Is it also effective against the tick/lyme disease epidemic?
