One of the pools was located near Panther Creek Parkway and Teel Parkway in the Grayhawk neighborhood.
The other pool was located south of Main Street in the Village Lakes neighborhood between Legacy Drive and Teel Parkway.
The city shared a list of precautions for West Nile virus promoted by the Texas Department of State Health Services:
• Use approved insect repellents that contain DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus every time you go outside.
• Drain standing water that collects in bird baths, French drains, clogged gutters, saucers under potted plants and “splash blocks” at the end of gutter down spouts.
• Wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk.
• Use air conditioning and make sure doors and windows have intact screens.
The latest positives bring Frisco's total to 14 mosquito pools that have tested positive for West Nile virus this season. No human cases of the virus have been confirmed in Frisco, though Plano officials announced Sept. 2 that a human case had been identified there.
Frisco began testing for mosquitoes May 1.
The Village Lakes neighborhood near Copper Point Lane was also the location of the eighth positive pool confirmed by the city on Aug. 14.
Frisco confirmed the first positive test of a mosquito pool near Oakbrook Park along Hickory Street on May 29.
