There was no question who were the good guys. The good guys wore white, nicely pressed clothes and the bad guys were in black. Secretly I thought it was a subliminal message that to be a good girl I had to stay clean. It didn't work. When it comes to insects, the good guys are not so clearly identified.
Many people believe the only good bug is a dead bug.
Actually of all the species of insects in the world, very few are pests of people and our plants. Many are beneficial by eating or parasitizing the bad guys. Pesticides are not the only answer in pest control. Pesticides can provide benefits, but if used improperly they can harm people, pets, and plants. If applied at the wrong time, they may be useless.
