DEET is a repellant not an insecticide? Was it DDT maybe? (Not certain)

They used to drive down the alleys in my hometown with a fogging truck to kill mosquitos. The only thing they said was "stay inside with the windows closed for a bit". Seems kinda crazy in hindsight.

I had it wrong. I think it’s just what us laymen called it. Looked it up, it is a pyrethin based spray

In N. Florida I think it was Malathion.
