  1. 1969 Raid Insect Spray Hits With Biker-Bugs Power

    Take it back to 1969—when Raid showed up like a hero with a spray can and a whole gang of biker bugs couldn’t stand the heat. Those animated little troublemakers stalking the kitchen feel straight out of a TV memory you didn’t know you still had. If you ever heard “spray and go,” this is the vibe it came from.

  2. Un pesticide «génétique» interdit en #Europe pollinis.org/publications/nouv débarque... en #Belgique

    Avec 800 000 tonnes d’excédents de patates, la Belgique avait-elle besoin d’une dérogation d’urgence pour un #insecticide génétique ? Non, disent des associations, qui s’inquiètent de ce produit pouvant rendre des gènes silencieux. 2 associations ont déposé un recours au Conseil d’État pollinis.org/publications/poll pour faire annuler l’autorisation d’urgence reporterre.net/Un-nouveau-type

  9. #Insecticide companies are now permitted to sell products meant to control household pests such as #cockroaches, #mosquitoes, #houseflies and #bed #bugs without a printed leaflet, following a recent amendment.
    Under the revised rules, manufacturers can dispense with physical leaflets as long as a QR code is provided on the product packaging that gives consumers access to all mandatory information, including precautions and possible risks. #india

  10. 📰 "Fungus could be the insecticide of the future"

    🗒 "Exterminators keep getting calls for a reason. Wood-devouring insects, such as beetles, termites, and carpenter ants, are constantly chewing through walls or infecting trees and breaking them down. The fight against these insects usually involved noxious insecticides; but now, at least some of them can be eliminated using a certain species of fungus."

  12. Public health groups are suing the Environmental Protection Agency ( #EPA ) over its approval of a #PFAS “forever chemical”
    #insecticide
    that industry research found likely
    reduces testicle size,
    lowers sperm count and
    harms the liver in rats.

    The pesticide, #isocycloseram,
    is used on food crops
    and could especially threaten children and developing fetuses,
    but the EPA did not factor those risks into its safety assessment,
    said Nathan Donley,
    environmental health science director with the
    "Center for Biological Diversity",
    a plaintiff in the suit.

    The lawsuit marks the latest
    flare-up in an ongoing controversy
    over the use of forever chemicals
    in pesticides,
    which public health advocates discovered under the Biden administration,
    and has accelerated under Trump.

    The pesticide program has also caused friction between
    the Robert F Kennedy Jr.-aligned Make America Healthy Again (Maha) movement, which broadly opposes pesticide use,
    and Maga elements atop the Trump administration aligned with pesticide and chemical industries.

  14. Early DDT experiments in Vineyards.
    Here, a report on 1943 trials in New Jersey. #DDT was first synthesized in 1874. Its effectiveness as an #insecticide, however, was only discovered in 1939. After 1945, the usage of DDT became widespread in the U.S. – It was banned in 1973

    À la suite de l’infection au virus de la dengue confirmée chez une personne revenant d’un séjour dans une zone où la maladie circule, l’ARS Pays de la Loire organise une opération de traitement insecticide dans la nuit du jeudi 11 au vendredi 12 septembre 2025 à Trélazé, au sud-est d'Angers.

"I have watched tractors and containers being washed in rivers, dead animals being dumped from bridges, gangs in the dying light descending on rivers with nets and our rivers being used for pet baths, their ‘spot-on’ anti-tick treatments (detected in many UK rivers now) toxic to the fish and invertebrates which form a river’s food chain of life"
