'Always had a Mosquito Control Commission

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.

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...

Hmm...

You gotta Larf!

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!

A guy in my office contracted this last year and almost died. He has still not recovered completely, and probably never will. And this is in an area that gets 5 inches of rain PER YEAR.

if you plumb the setup whunter described into the coolant overflow bottle, you can make a nice smoke screen to make a James Bond style get away. Is SPECTRE still in buisness?

another good use would be to ad proof to your claims of being late for work due to car troubles.

anyone else hate being tailgated?

Just think of all the possibilities

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.

Team "Skywriting"

I could see a coordinated effort to do formation style, "Skywriting", with multiple cars in multiple lanes pulsing out their smoke so as to spell out a message of some sort. The "Swing States", during election time comes to mind.

Different color oils so as to produce red, white, and blue smoke would always be patriotic. Team participation at car events. A good start would be at Hunter's own Woodward Ave.

Then you could always add scent oils for extra effect.

When this process would be done effectively the residual oil film will put many people to work squeeging windshields at stoplights in New York.

Looks like the perfect storm to me. Kills bad bugs, sends a message, fun and entertainment for onlookers, and employment opportunities for those that are lacking.

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.
