The city of Frisco will spray for mosquitoes after two more mosquito pools tested positive for the West Nile virus. A total of nine Frisco mosquito pools have tested positive for the virus this year. One human case has been confirmed in Frisco. Spraying will begin Saturday in city-owned areas surrounding Oakbrook Park and north of Wade Boulevard and east of Parkwood Boulevard. In both locations, treatment will begin at 9 p.m. Saturday and will continue through 6 a.m. Sunday. Spraying resumes Sunday at 9 p.m. and continues through 6 a.m. Monday. 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.
