http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coshChemical cosh
Chemical cosh is a term used primarily by the British. To "cosh" someone means to bang them on the head, resulting in the person being sedated or knocked unconscious. A chemical cosh, then, refers to sedating people with chemicals, or medications. The term is generally used to refer to the situation where sedation is unnecessary.
More specifically it refers to:
the widespread dispensation of antipsychotic drugs in residential care to make dementia sufferers easier to manage.[1]
the use of ritalin to calm children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.[2]

http://www.derwesten.de/staedte/dorsten/Chemi...Dass die chemische Keule nach mehrjährigem Einsatz den Eichenprozessionsspinnerraupen langsam aber sicher endgültig mal den Garaus machen könnte, davon geht Stadtsprecherin Lisa Bauckhorn momentan nicht aus: „Die Raupen wandern jedes Jahr so rund 300 Meter. Es kommen also immer wieder neue Tiere nach. Und man bekommt bei den Sprühaktionen ja sicherlich auch nicht alle Raupen erfasst. Es bleiben immer welche übrig.“

Synthetic insecticides are poisonous substances and have no place in a household.
