In a recent health alert, the City of Frisco confirmed that three mosquito pools have tested positive for the West Nile virus (WNV), a potentially serious health concern for residents. To address this issue, the city has scheduled ground spraying operations for overnight September 21 and 22, carried out by a third-party contractor. This initiative is part of the city's ongoing efforts to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of the virus. Public health officials have urged residents to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions, such as eliminating any standing water around their homes to reduce breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The spraying is intended to mitigate risks associated with WNV, especially as the summer months continue to see increased mosquito activity.

Local authorities are committed to keeping the public informed and safe, highlighting the importance of community awareness in combating mosquito-borne diseases. Residents can stay updated on further developments through the city’s official communications. The situation serves as a reminder of the ongoing public health challenges posed by vector-borne diseases.
