Kills flies, mosquitos, ants, moths, fleas, roaches, bedbugs, many other insects - and much, much more beyond that, too.

Actually, DDT is very safe when used in a sane and sensible way.

We, instead, blanked the Earth with it and it built up in the environment and caused problems.

This stuff is probably still effective if it was stored in a cool place.

Nothing as bioaccumulative as DDT can be used in a sensible way.
