Wouldn’t DDT work just as well, without the ma$$ive re$earch effort$?

Efficacy is known, and no birdie eggshells to thin...oh right, wasn’t that disproven?

DDT-resistant insects have additional genetic advantage that helps resistance spread

IMHO, more than one weapon is needed.

Might be a little out of the loop here. How can there be DDT resistant bugs if the substance has been banned since silent spring went wide....sometime in the 70’s?

Will hit the article.
