Are there fewer bugs smashing into car windows these days?
#16
I've noticed this too the past 30 years and have figured it was due to mass chemical overuse. Apparently I was right. So terribly right. :-( I stopped using insecticide and herbicide years ago, use only natural stuff now like live ladybugs and praying mantis (order via Amazon), boric acid, and mint spray on occasion.

I found a large glass container of Chlordane in my dad's garage last summer, about halfway full, maybe 24 ounces. Chlordane was outlawed decades ago and kills everything, including people. The half-life of it is like, literally, centuries. Can't believe it ever made it to mass market. (Then again...) My dad died from leukemia 2 years ago. Also a 40-year smoker and regularly had his home interior, exterior and yard sprayed with various chemicals, Roundup, etc. Not a good combo.

Stop using this stuff, people - and dispose of it properly at your local hazardous waste collection site. I told one of my dad's friends who was helping us move my mom about the Chlordane find. He asked if he could have it to use around his house. I said no effing way, bro, and then told him how dangerous it is. People have no idea how toxic all this stuff is. So tragic.
