Flower Mound will spray for mosquitos to prevent West Nile

Comment

FLOWER MOUND — The Town of Flower Mound will conduct mosquito spraying operations in the areas generally located south of Wichita Trail and west of Simmons Road from 10 p.m. on Monday, October 15, through 4 a.m. on Tuesday, October 16. If weather is rainy or windy, the spraying may be postponed.

Residents in the affected neighborhoods will be notified with community signs and are advised to minimize exposure when possible. The following precautionary steps are also advisable:

· Stay indoors during spray events if possible

· If outside or in a vehicle during this time, be alert for the spraying truck and maintain distance

· If the spray should contact skin or eyes, wash skin with soap and water, and rinse eyes with water or saline solution

· Cover fish ponds and bring pets indoors

· Close windows

· Wash outside toys, play equipment, and furniture with soap and water prior to use

· Wash exposed fruits and vegetables before eating

There are no special precautions or waiting periods recommended for swimming pools as a result of the spraying. Town staff will continue to conduct additional inspections and monitor the area after treatment. The insecticide used in spraying is applied at ultra-low levels, breaks down quickly, and does not leave a toxic residue.

Flower Mound Environmental Services responds to all mosquito concerns with an inspection of the area, larvicidal treatment of any potential mosquito breeding areas, and increased educational efforts. For more information, contact Flower Mound Environmental Services at 972.874.6340.
