I remember when the big trucks would spray the DDT, they would warn you ahead of time so you could close your windows and take in the laundry.

Half the boys in the neighborhood would ride their bikes behind the truck as it sprayed.

You got a truck? We just got a couple MP’s in a jeep towing the fogger trailer.

We had a fire ant infestation in Atlanta when I was young and they would drop these little orange and black pellets out of the sky.

Great fun to go out into the woods with your baseball cap on and let them pop you on the noggin and listen to them whacking into dry leaves.
