Oh, the mosquito truck's a comin'

You know it won't be long

All you fools a star gaz'n

Take shelter 'fore too long.

You know it's just some nerve gas

But what'd you rather have

The West Nile Virus

Or complaints here downtown

The mosquito truck's a comin'

Though my lawn it looks like hay.

You know I could'a watered it

I thought we'd all need a drink some day.

I. Hear that sound. Grbrgrbrdgrbgrbrgrbrbrgrbrh

I know rhe mosquito truck's comin' round

Why can't they loudly play, like an ice cream truck does every day.

The Alice Cooper song "Poison" prior to spraying?

Should I mention we're in a bad drought? And have been since May.

       The one in the vid seems loud enough without music.

       This a twin-engined truck made of plywood, capable of around 415mph in level flight?

       the wheelbase is too wide... and Merlins don't do too well in rush-hour traffic.

       They do when they have a 20mm Hispanio cannon on each wing ....

       Later versions moved them inboard, to overcome the problems of convergence zone distance and added about 12% in extra fuel capacity.   

       There's also the Molins-armed sub-buster, with a 6-pounder 57mm cannon.

       I don't get it... is this a truck that sprays nerve gas? What does it have to do with communication?

       //There's also the Molins-armed sub-buster, with a 6-pounder 57mm cannon.// Yes, a lot of people believe that.

       Tested quite well, but the Brits ran out of war before it was really needed.
—UnaBubba, Aug 24 2009
   

       //They do when they have a 20mm Hispanio cannon on each wing // sp. "Hispano", "fuselage".   

       It seems there was also a 32 pounder version tested.

       The big one was never used, as the war finished.   

       I'd hate to be in the aircraft when it fired. The bloody thing would practically stall on the recoil.
