A mosquito pool was confirmed positive for West Nile Virus near the 15400 block of Meandering Way in the 75248 zip code. Weather permitting, the area delineated below is scheduled for mosquito control spraying between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Wednesday, July 23 and Thursday, July 24.
The area to be sprayed is generally bounded by Alto Caro Drive on the north, Hillcrest Road on the west, Coit Road on the east and Beltline Road on the south.
While the insecticide is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for treatment, residents in the above areas should avoid contact with the spray by staying indoors. Persons inside a vehicle while trucks are actively spraying should remain in their vehicles with the windows up and the air conditioner on until the trucks pass and the spray is no longer visible. Persons out during the scheduled spraying time should be alert for trucks and should not follow them. Residents who come in contact with the spray are advised to wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. The spray breaks down quickly in the presence of sunlight and has no residual effect.
