Along these lines (as long as we are on the subject) I have always wondered why, when they tent a building, they don't just fill it with dry nitrogen. It woulod suffocate everything that is living, and leave no poisonous residue to adversely affect those who must reenter and live there. tenting is not air tight. True, but after two or three bottles of N2, over the course of a day or more, all the leakage would be N2 going out and none would be O2 going in, and everything living would die. Nitrogen is cheap, (the air is almost 80% nitrogen) and nothing can survive without oxygen for a day or more. It is environmentally safe. It would kill all bugs except for those few who have developed the capacity to create their own little air bubbles, as some larva can do, and these usually survive the insecticides anyway. |

No, chains would be too expensive. You would need several thousand of them, and they would have to be very small.... JUST KIDDING!! |
