Mosquito poison

I hate mosquitos that attack me at night when I’m defenseless.Swatting at them isn’t very effective when I’m sleeping. Tod burns campfire-scented mosquito coils on the veranda while he works outside, but the smoke from them doesn’t reach the bedroom.
So I decided to get some mosquito poison for the bedroom. I selected Earth No Mat, liquid DDT in an electric warmer.
DDT was synthesised in Germany in 1874 and hit its peak in the US in 1959 when 80 millions pounds of DDT were deployed. DDT was banned in the US in 1972 because it contaminates groundwater and soil and accumulates in wildlife (and presumably humans as well).
But DDT’s used pretty much everywhere else as a general purpose insecticide, so why not jump on the bandwagon? Earth No Mat claims 500,000,000 units sold (World’s Number 1!). Yes, I’m sure Rachel Carson is turning over in her grave. But she isn’t plagued with Japanese mosquitos.
I don’t know if I’ll continue using the poison, though I have a 60 day supply. It seems unsporting to gas mosquitos and I am little bit worried about the effect of breathing in DDT, even in small quantities. I guess if I poison the mosquitos, the bedroom will also be free of jumping spiders, which makes me sad.
So I’ll have to choose–avoid possible long term health and environmental effects or enjoy blissful mosquito-free sleep? Hmmmm….
(Thanks to all the comments, I’m not so worried about the poison. It’s not The DDT, but a synthetic DDT.)
