This was the same year that the EPA outlawed aerial application of fire ant baits and recommended that farmers use DDT instead. (I guess they forgot that DDT had been illegal to use in the USA since 1956.)

Now if onlt that was common knowledge. I hate to see the terms "EPA" and "science" in the same sentence. 
They wouldn't know science if it was 2 miles tall and lodged through their stomach!
But you forget one important fact in this topic. Nature doesn't hand out hefty campaign contributions.
