DDT is used as an insecticide which kills on contact. It is extremely harmful and was banned in United States since 1972. Before it was banned, it was used to protect crops from insect damage, but it killed too many animals and plants, while insect populations grew more and more resistant to DDT. This led to ban in DDT in many countries.
