West Nile FOUND in Dallas - Mosquito Control in effect

Mosquito samples in Dallas have tested positive for the West Nile Virus. Weather permitting, the area described below are scheduled for mosquito control spraying between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night from Tuesday, August 6th to Wednesday, August 7th.

Control Area: The area to be sprayed is within an area generally bounded by: 5300 VICKERY BOULEVARD (75206) (Council District: 14): MORNINGSIDE AVENUE on the north, N. CENTRAL EXPRESSWAY on the west, WORCOLA STREET on the east, and N. GARRETT AVENUE on the south.

While the Environmental Protection Agency approves the insecticide for treatment, residents in the above areas should avoid contact with the spray by staying indoors. People 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 through, and the spray is no longer visible. People who are out during the scheduled spraying time should be alert for trucks and should not follow them. Residents who come into 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.
