DDT was canceled because it persists in the environment, accumulates in fatty tissues, and can cause adverse health effects on wildlife (4). In addition, resistance occurs in some insects (like the house fly) who develop the ability to quickly metabolize the DDT ).

DDT affects the central nervous system of insects and other animals. This results in hyperactivity, paralysis and death. DDT also affects eggshell production in birds and the endocrine system of most animals. DDT has a very high tenancy towards biomagnification.
