DDT is an extreme way to get rid of mosquitos. Seal up the gaps in your window screens. Keep the bedroom door closed. It's working for me during mosquito season on the subtropical island where I live.
I realize I'm giving advice to a comic about a banned chemical.
I mean it's not wrong considering boomers somewhere probably have a lifetime supply of banned chemicals
Probably more for bed bugs.
Bedbugs have evolved resistance to DDT.
DDT is what killed off Malaria in Europe (and probably in most of the US too, but I don't know as much about that).
It saved a hundred thousand times more lives than it may have cost.
Yep, same in America. 10-seconds after we wiped out malaria we told the rest of the world to get fucked. "Oh, you can produce DDT, but we won't trade with you if you do."
A decade-long push and we could have eradicated malaria, then banned it. We got ours, fuck the rest of you. Now it's a brown people problem, just as intended.
That foul bitch, Rachael Carlson, and her cute little book Silent Spring, killed far more humans than Hitler and Stalin combined ever dreamed about.
Citronella candles do an all right job too if you don't mind the smell.
And if you do mind the smell, you might actually be a mosquito
I have known individuals who, while I cannot prove it, are probably not mosquitos but who also hate the smell of citronella.
You down with DDT?
Yeah you know me.

Coincidental, this came up on my feed today.
Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
Single panels are preferred.
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
Don't be a dick.
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.
