DDT would be the single best way to exterminate a lot of these pests. It is safe and relatively non-toxic to humans. Unfortunately the big environmentalism scare put the whammy on DDT and made it into public enemy No. 1. DDT was good stuff. If it were on the market today I'd buy it and use it.

this is the most amazing bird in the world, it can travel at 230 mph. I had the privilege of walking up on one in the Seattle area while it was eating a pigeon, I'll never forget it. I got within 12 feet. I froze and after a 10 second stare down it flew off without it's meal.
DDT causes the egg shells of these and other birds to become so thin they break under the weight of the sitting bird. Peregrine Falcon.

The problem is that happens when DDT is used in excess. Even Rachael Carlson didn't feel that DDT should be banned. She did feel that it should be used with greater caution and not be used to such excess where it runs off into ground water, river, stream and lake water. With proper guidelines DDT can be used effectively such that it kills unwanted pests yet does not harm the ecosystem. Problem was that back in the 50's they were using DDT like water,
