On August 23, 2024, the City of Frisco announced that two mosquito pools tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV), a concerning development for local public health. In response, the city has scheduled ground spraying in the affected areas overnight on August 24 and 25, 2024. The spraying will be conducted by a third-party contractor, emphasizing the city's commitment to managing mosquito populations effectively. Residents are advised to stay indoors during the spraying to reduce their exposure to the insecticide being used. This action is part of a broader strategy to combat mosquito-borne illnesses and protect the health of the community.

The announcement serves as a reminder for residents to remain vigilant about mosquito control, especially during peak seasons. The city's public health officials continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as necessary. This proactive measure is crucial in preventing further spread of WNV and ensuring the safety of Frisco's residents.
