*Area in Dallas to be sprayed for West Nile Virus* 

 

*Dallas* – Mosquito samples in Dallas have tested positive for the West Nile Virus. Weather permitting, the area(s) described below are scheduled for mosquito control spraying between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night from Friday, August 4 to Saturday, August 5.  

 

*Control Area:* The area to be sprayed is within an area generally bounded by: 2600 block of Cypress Avenue (75227): *Scyene Road* on the north, *Mckim Drive *on the west, *Paseo Paraiso* on the east, and *Bruton Road* on the south. 

 

The area to be sprayed is within an area generally bounded by: 3800 block of Valley Lawn Place (75229): *Northview Lane* on the north, *Marsh Lane *on the west, *Pinocchio Drive* on the east, and *Meadowdale Lane* on the south. 

 

The area to be sprayed is within an area generally bounded by: 4700 block of Heatherbrook Drive (75244): *Mill Run Road* on the north, *Rickover Court *on the west, *Inwood Road* on the east, and *Forest Lane* on the south. 

 

The area to be sprayed is within an area generally bounded by: 7300 block of Clifbrook Drive (75243): *Rolling Acres Drive* on the north, *Hillcrest Road *on the west, *Coit Road* on the east, and *Paldao Drive* 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. 

 

*Protection against mosquito bites* 

Dallas residents are urged to take precautions against mosquito bites by reducing outdoor activity during the evening and nighttime hours. Residents who are outside during these times should cover their arms and legs and use a mosquito repellent.    

 

*Prevent mosquito breeding* 

Residents should eliminate standing water to prevent mosquito breeding and the spread of West Nile Virus. Breeding places for mosquitoes include swimming pools that are not kept clean, stagnant ponds, pet watering dishes, birdbaths, potted plants, old tires, empty containers, toys and clogged rain gutters and French drains. Eliminate standing water promptly, as mosquitoes can grow from egg to adult in as little as seven days. Dallas residents may receive free mosquito dunks at Code Compliance Services District Offices while supplies last.   

 

*Code District Offices:* 

3112 Canton St. (Code Administration)   

7901 Goforth Rd. (North Central, North East)  

2721 Municipal St. (South East)  

320 East Jefferson Blvd. (Central/South Central)  

4230 W. Illinois Ave. (South West)
