The city of Frisco will be spraying for mosquitoes Saturday and Sunday evenings after a seventh pool tested positive for West Nile virus. No human cases of the virus have been confirmed in the city.
The city will spray an area bordered by Main Street, Legacy Drive, Teel Parkway and Stonebrook Parkway. Spraying will take place 9 p.m.-6 a.m. both evenings.
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 outdoors;
- deet—use mosquito repellents that contain deet; and
- dusk or dawn—avoid outdoor activities during these hours when mosquitoes are most active.
