Shore town.

Every night for 2 weeks, residents and renters were told to go indoors, stay indoors for the evening, close the doors and windows. Tanker trucks with insecticide would go up and down the streets, spraying to kill the mosquitos.

Not exactly summer fun, but it was the best they could do to address the problem at that time.
