They used to(When we were kids) using little pick-ups.
[AND Idiots that we were,we used to ride our bikes in the "Jet Stream" of
areosolized DDT/Malathion].
Now they use Helicopters and a Twin Engine,fixed wing to Spray.

You can call them up in the A.M. and that afternoon,weather permitting,
the "Bugs" are all Doomed.

If you're one of those people whom mosquitoes tend to favor

Maybe I just deal with it too good.
I'm one of those guys that attracts most of the mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes and "no seeums" are the worst pests for me.
Wasp get my attention, too; however, I can usually see them and get out of the way.

Moving air helps keeps the mosquitoes off of me --- I like to be next to a big fan while outside on a still day. I use alot of mosquitoe replellent.

I find the best way to avoid bites is to stand near a drunk... mosquito's flock to the sweet smell of the beer that they emit...

EPA forces motor-makers and industry to clean up their act...

Then you get things like this! Lets all fit these things so we can pump all sorts of crap out while we drive!

--I have NO idea of the seriousness of mosquetos, in U.S. we dont have 'em here--at least not that cause trouble, but this does seem a totally Mad idea!

last i checked, these were german cars. ground should be brown. not black.

Hmm
I do not recommend splicing into the MB wire harness.

All of the most common generic auto part stores stock RED and BLACK wire.

.

nor do i! leave the original MB harness alone. but following convention will make life easier for yourself and the next guy. brown wire is readily available at my flaps and at the hardware store.

Unless you're colorblind!

If you stare at this long enough and tilt it at the proper angle you go cross-eyed!

I saw the thread title, and I thought it might be some kind of tongue in cheek reference to old broken down engines. But I see it's for real! So I thought I'd better get in here and offer up my old TD that has a busted piston. This thing will fog a neighborhood in no time at all; and you won't have to do any extra plumbing. Turn key system, ready to go.

In all seriousness, my hippy pest control service uses Wintergreen Oil, and/or Peppermint Oil and/or Rosemary Oil for fogging skeeters. I'm not sure about the proportions; but it is impressive stuff.
