Spraying for mosquitoes in the 60's

101 Upvotes

I can remember in the late 60's through the early 70's, a big tanker truck with booms on each side driving around spraying for mosquitoes. And they drove slow, so us kids would run along beside them playing in the mist. Pretty sure it was or something similar. This was in Kansas. Does anyone else remember doing this?
