How do pest control kill pests?
That all depends on what type of pest you have, where you are located (as some methods are governed by law) and what is the company's common practice. Some jump straight to pesticides while others use only eco-friendly pest control methods. Pest Control in Toronto for instance uses a variety of different options. However, you must keep in mind that the most effective way of managing pests is through a process called Integrated Pest Management.
Any company who practices this philosophy knows what they are doing and more often than not, can be trusted.
DDT was used to spray fruits (its a pesticide) to keep bugs away, etc. Eagles (among other animals) ate this fruit or ate other animals who had eaten the fruit, thus the poison was transmitted. When the birds laid eggs, the shells of these eggs were very thin which caused the unhatched chicks to die. After a period of time, eagles became endangered and a law was passed, because not only is DDT harmful to animals but to humans as well. Think of THAT when you're biting into that red, artificially grown apple-yum!!!!
DDT was used primarily for controlling malarial mosquitoes,However environmental extremist groups manipulated data and wildly exaggerated their claims to push for a worldwide ban on DDT - which is, to this day,still the most effective weapon against malarial mosquitoes. The Environmental Protection Agency held extensive hearings and these hearings concluded that DDT should not be banned. A few months after the hearings ended, EPA administrator William Ruckleshaus over-ruled his own agency and banned DDT anyway, in what he later admitted was a "political" decision. Threats to withhold American foreign aid swiftly spread the ban across the world..
The resulting explosion of mosquito-borne malaria in Africa alone has claimed over sixty million lives. This was not a gradual process - a surge of infection and death happened almost immediately. The use of DDT reduces the spread of mosquito-borne malaria by 80-90%, so its discontinuation quickly produced an explosion of crippling and fatal illness claiming the lives of over 2 million people per year rather than the 10,000 per year when DDT was in use.
The same environmental movement which has been falsifying data, suppressing dissent, and reading tea leaves to support the global-warming fraud has studiously ignored this blood-drenched "hockey stick" for decades. Environmentalist have murdered more people than Hitler,Stalin or any other group in history...
How do you get rid of weavels in kitchen cabinets?
Spread Bay Leaves in your cupboards..You can find them in the spice isle of your grocery store.. Store rice, instant potatoes and what not in plastic rubbermaid type containers with tight lids.. You get what you pay for..Chances are you got infested by buying some food that was already infested, such as rice, flour, instant potatoes etc.... Also try to shop in a supermarket that is well kept.. If your grocery store has opened food on the shelves, then you should really assume that it is going to attract some bugs and they could already be infesting some of the food that is on there..
So you need a fresh start.. Clean out your cupboards. Throw any thing in the garbage that you currently have that is infested with weavels.. Wash down your cuboards with warm water mixed with a small amount of rubbing alcohol (to sanitize) because there is likely food and weavel powder or weavel eggs(which is hard to see).. Any food that you currently have that is boxed, put it in plastic sealable containers or ziplock baggies... Spread bay leaves around on each shelf.. that will help you kind of start over. .The best way to get rid of them is to try to protect your food to begin with..
This will help you in the future to prevent infestation.. Being aware while your grocery shopping is the key to being infestation free.. Look for tiny holes in the box.. Or if the box has a small bend in it or a tear, don't buy it.. The smallest dent on a box is an easy way in for a tiny burrowing bug..
I wish you luck, but you don't need it, once you clean up and start over, it will be easy
