Dallas spraying for West Nile Monday and Tuesday night

mos_wnvMosquito pools were confirmed positive for West Nile Virus. Weather permitting; the areas delineated below are scheduled for mosquito control spraying on Monday Oct. 20 and Tuesday Oct. 21 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night.  

Control Areas: The areas to be sprayed are within an area generally bounded by:

11400 block of Park Central Lane (75230): Forest Lane on the north, St. Michaels Drive on the west, Central Expressway on the east and Royal Lane on the south.

11900 block of Woodbridge Drive (75243): Shadow Way on the north, Apple Creek Drive on the west, Black Walnut Drive on the east and Skillman Street 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.
