Does the Town currently spray for mosquitoes?
A. The Town currently sprays for adult mosquitoes only when either a mosquito has been tested to be positive for the West Nile virus, or a human case has been reported to us by the Denton County Health Department epidemiologist. If this occurs, the Town would then have a licensed mosquito contractor spray the immediate area surrounding where either the mosquito was found to be positive for West Nile virus, or the human case that has been medically diagnosed as having West Nile virus resides.
