★★★★ · This bugs me (ha ha!) · Spuzz · 2022-07-01
Very interesting film that focuses on the many problems that pests, which includes insects, weeds and other nasty buggers that affects Americas crops. We get to see nasty little creatures here. Maggots! Flies! Cockroaches! Worms! Eeeeek! Gross! But luckily, scientists are beginning to discover ways to stamp out (excuse the pun) these pests! This film is actually quite interesting, and strangely relevant for today. The reason for this of course is the insects increasing adaptability to insecticides. So yeah, still fighting those insects. Who will reap? Were still finding out.
