The City of Southlake has received notice from Tarrant County Public Health that two mosquito traps in Southlake have tested positive for West Nile Virus.

The positive West Nile Virus traps are located in the 700 block of Ashleigh Lane and the 800 block of Shady Lane.

The City will begin spraying within the half-mile radius from the trap location. Spraying will begin on Thursday night, July 20th, and continue through Saturday night, July 22nd, weather permitting. The chemicals in the spray are specifically designed to target mosquitos with a quick burn-off in sunlight to mitigate any pet health concerns.

Residents should continue taking protective measures to help reduce the mosquito population including:

· Drain standing water in artificial containers; this is the primary source of mosquitoes

· Dress in long sleeves

· Wear insect repellent containing DEET
