Get Rid Of Pesky Mosquitos With This Free Service In Lufkin, Texas

Have you ever looked out the window on a sunny summer day and thought it was a bit hazy outside? I have and upon closer inspection noticed it was a swarm of midges, not mosquitoes.

I remember a friend talking about the good old days in South East Texas riding bikes. They would follow behind mosquito trucks with jets that sprayed clouds of mosquito killer, and they would ride in their wake.

Pedaling fast and breathing hard, just trying to keep up with the truck as it sprayed. I am sure that wasn't the best idea, but kids will be kids and the trucks are actually spraying a minimal amount of insecticide.
