The City of Frisco has received confirmation that five mosquito pools tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV) earlier this week, raising concerns about public health and safety. In light of this development, the city has announced that ground spraying will occur overnight on September 14 and 15 to combat the potential spread of the virus. The spraying operations will be managed by a third-party contractor specifically hired for this purpose. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions during this period. The city’s proactive measures highlight its commitment to protecting the community from vector-borne diseases like WNV.

Public health officials stress the importance of reducing mosquito breeding sites around homes and neighborhoods. Residents are also urged to report any stagnant water sources to help mitigate mosquito populations. This response is crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of Frisco's residents as the city navigates this public health challenge.
