yikes, ok. That is not good at all but there is nothing I can do about it now. I guess I'll wait to see if my plants make it. Thank you Perticusrex.

They manage to find me every night when I'm walking. I think they're breeding in my sweat.

I have !! People still water lawns or (dead grass) in my case. Water collects long enough in places . I live next to 6 mile creek next to Stinson Field. We always have chance for mosquitoes. They do spray pretty regular. OP said a fine mist, sounds like mosquito spraying to me. Watering along hwy's you wouldn't want to mist... too much evaporation.

Ouch, what's that bright shiny thing?? ^^ Don't know why I quoted my own post,sorry!!

Couldn't find a picture of there trucks. But, they use 1/2 or 3/4 ton flatbeds with gas powered sprayers in bed. Pretty noisy. Street view I got to where you could see the trucks from a distance. URL won't give view I tuned in.

I'm concerned that it was some kind of chemical insect repellant or poison. Has anyone else seen this truck on their street or know what they are spraying?
I live right in that area, but I didn't hear anything this morning. It sounds like either a street sweeper (I've seen quite a few of them today out and about) or one of those water trucks. I've seen those in the area as well, but not in the residential areas.

Okay if it's a fine mist then it's a fine answer. Thanks,
