The dramatic increase of malaria deaths following its withdrawal is not theoretical but real - it has happened. The charges ddt use will kill all the bats or the birds and etc. are theoretical - it hasn't happened - maybe you can say it will happen but it hasn't. Re. the nets - would view it as an appropriate solution for you and your family if you lived in a malarial environment? <..some kind of pyrethroid. Did it work? I would presume it was ddt - this was the 1950's. As to whether it worked - gee, I don't know - I was a kid at the time. I do know that there were plenty of bats, birds, wasps, and other critters around and the spraying had no discernable ill effect that a kid who virtually lived outdoors could see.
