@farmerman,
Yes, if some of these eggs are from a strain that have already had encounters with DDT and have built resistance, I'll give it 8 to 12 months after reintroducing DDT in America before most become fully resistant. If not, maybe a decade. DDT should only be used only a long term last resort, but definitely not an environmentally safe solution.
Anyway, I don't see why people should freak out. These blood suckers are big, so they are slow flyers, and they're bigger targets for the swatter.
Worried of the painful sting? Apply a thick layer of gooey mud all over the. Problem solved, and on the upside, you'll stay cool.
Or you can just spray insect repellant. Whatever works for you.
