With the first confirmed human West Nile Case of the summer reported in Fort Worth, residents of University Park say they’re glad their city is being proactive in fogging and spraying for mosquitoes.
“I have seen mosquitoes,” said Yvonne Davis, who lives on land bordering one of the city’s parks. “Right now, I’m using a lot of OFF, spraying the yard, and DEET on the skin.”
University Park set a schedule for mosquito prevention that targets neighborhoods, alleys and public property.
The news of a “concerning” volume of mosquitoes found in Dallas County health department traps in May also set off alarm bells with Park Cities parkgoers. “I was hoping we wouldn’t see anything this year,” said Dayne Marguglio. “I hope it doesn’t spread.”
None of those mosquitoes trapped in Dallas County tested positive for the virus.
