DDT spray scares mosquitoes away, study finds (Reuters, 8/08/07)

Mosquitoes that carry malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever avoid homes that have been sprayed with DDT, researchers reported on Wednesday.

The chemical not only repels the disease-carrying insects physically, but its irritant and toxic properties helps keep them away, the researchers reported in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS ONE.

They estimate that DDT spray reduced the risk of disease transmission by nearly three-quarters.


How are the Gaia worshippers supposed to get world population down if poor folks know how to defend themselves?

Rachel Carson, The Silent Spring anti-DDT author died of cancer. My recollection is that her pro-malaria campaign followed her diagnosis, a fact which compromised her objectivity.
