A pool of mosquitoes in one of the city of Plano’s mosquito traps has tested positive for West Nile virus—the third reported this season. Weather permitting, the city will spray the area near the trap beginning 9 p.m. Monday, according to a city news release. The same area was sprayed for mosquitoes in July. The area to be sprayed is bordered by Bob Woodruff Trail/Rockbrook Drive, Hillridge Drive, Valencia Drive/Hendrick Drive and Judy Drive. The city release urged residents to ensure children and pets remain indoors during the time of the spraying. In order to prevent the spread of West Nile virus, the city also urged residents to drain standing water in or around their homes, dress appropriately before going outdoors and wear bug spray containing DEET. See a map of the spray area below.
