Sounds a lot like mosquito fogging. It should be around the start of the mosquito breeding season in that area. Mosquitoes are vectors for a lot of different diseases.
Believe it or not, at Minot AFB North Dakota, which is surrounded by wetlands, they used to fog for mosquitoes every other night.
The mosquitoes there were big and used to be referred to as the North Dakota state bird.

They’re dropping Lady Bugs in Alabama. Do it every year this time. Boll Weevils.
My duty stations in six years was of course San Antonio, then Biloxi, Sacramento, Azores, and Tampa. It could only have been better if Ramey Air Force Base had still been open. The closest I ever got to that was working over the phone with the Navy tech controllers at Roosevelt Roads a few times. Roosevelt Roads Naval Station closed on March 31, 2004. Ramey Air Force Base closed 1 January, 1974 almost a year before I enlisted.
I lot of the reason I didn't reenlist was that every Staff Sergeant with a Top Secret clearance leaving Tampa got a remote assignment in the mountains of Turkey and that was at least twenty going back several years. I wanted to stay married.
They used to do that in Grand Forks as well. One night the mosquito count was getting bad, they buzzed the city and the next night no mosquitos.
