The city of Frisco is ground spraying for mosquitoes Oct. 5 and 6 after another mosquito pool tested positive for West Nile Virus.

A total of five Frisco mosquito pools have now tested positive for WNV. No human cases of the virus have yet been confirmed in Frisco.

Spraying will take place from 10 p.m. through 6 a.m. each night, weather permitting. The areas to be sprayed include neighborhoods in the Shaddock Creek and The Trails subdividions.

A city of Frisco fogger truck will spray the impacted neighborhoods. The truck will emit a 300-foot swath of spray from the back of the vehicle. City staff recommends residents stay indoors during spraying, bring pets indoors and refresh animals' outdoor water dishes the next morning.

Fogger truck operators will turn off the fogger and go around people or pets it encounters.

The City of Frisco supports precautionary steps promoted by the Texas Department of State Health Services, which are commonly referred to as "The Four D's":

Drain all standing water

Dress in light-colored, long-sleeve clothing when outdors

Deet—use mosquito repellents that contain Deet

Dusk or dawn—avoid outdoor activities during these hours when mosquitoes are most active.
