After World War II, it became especially popular due to its
effectiveness against mosquitoes that spread malaria and lice
that carried typhus.

Thanks.

As I typed out my previous response, I thought about misquitoes
as well. There's some misquitoes that travel around giving diseases
in Florida. The first thought that came to mind involved a natural
predator. And there is more than one natural predator. The one
that folks in Florida are familiar with is the lizard. I've seen a lizard
literally jump 6 feet to snatch a bug. The bigger ones end up going
after cockroaches and canibalistic behaviour, you'll find that a
bigger lizard running around with a smaller lizard's tail hanging
out of its mouth. Then there are frogs as well.

So perhaps this has nothing to do with "organic", but it's an argument
against the use of DDT or any other chemical. IF there are a lot of
misquitoes around, set up a pond. You will draw frogs and misquitoes
to the pond. It's quite effective at getting rid of misquitoes in Florida.
And if you need some lizards, selling lizards could become a profitable
business for folks that want to sell lizards. No one ever seems to think
about breeding and selling these little things, they don't make very nice
pets, but with the right advertising, people WILL buy them.
