DDT was once considered a ʺsilver bulletʺ that would permanently eradicate insect pests. Today, instead, DDT is largely useless against many insects. Which of these would have been required for this pest eradication effort to be successful in the long run?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. Larger doses of DDT should have been applied.

  2. All habitats should have received applications of DDT at about the same time.

  3. The frequency of DDT application should have been higher.

  4. None of the individual insects should have possessed genomes that made them resistant to DDT.
