Ants were found in our house yesterday. My father bought DDT and sprinkled the powder on the holes created by ants. Now , they are gone.
I kept wondering at DDT. DDT is the acronym for Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloro ethane. It was developed as the first modern synthetic pesticide.
But soon , scenario was changed. It was found that DDT was believed to cause cancer and their agricultural use is a threat to wild life.
Even though many countries had banned DDT , its limited use continues till today.
