Hey Frisco!
Watch out for West Nile Virus!
âTWO MOSQUITO POOLS TEST POSITIVE FOR WEST NILE VIRUS;
CITY TO SPRAY TONIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT, MAY 28 - 29
The City of Frisco supports precautionary steps promoted by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), and commonly referred to as âThe Four Dâsâ:
DEET: Use insect repellants every time you go outside. Approved repellents contain DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
DRAIN: Drain standing water that collects in bird baths, French drains, clogged gutters, saucers under potted plants and âsplash blocksâ (at end of gutter down spout). The mosquitoes that carry WNV can breed in stagnant water.
DRESS: Wear long sleeves, pants at dawn and dusk.
DUSK OR DAWN: Avoid outdoor activities during these hours when mosquitoes are most active.
In accordance with its Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan, Frisco began testing for mosquitoes May 1. No human cases of the virus are confirmed in Frisco this year.â
