Did anyone else growup with "the mosquito truck" coming through their neighborhood?

[underpants]

I was talking about this with my boss who grew up on Va's Eastern shore. I grew, for the most part, in Tidewater-coastal Virginia.

Starting around this time of year at some point in the early evening we would be playing outside and we would hear the low rumble of the chemical dispersing motor and see the flashing yellow light

MOSQUITO TRUCK!!!! someone would yell and everyone high-tailed it into the closest house.
