Home My WebLink AboutE-News-City Publications-7/25/2014GENERAL Mosquito Control The Tarrant County Public Health Department (TCPHD) lab has notified the city of Colleyville that a mosquito from one of the regular sampling sites has tested positive for the West Nile Virus (WMV). This positive test came from the same sample site where a mosquito in each of two previous samples tested positive. The mosquitoes were collected in an area near Windermere Court. This site has been treated with larvacide and is scheduled for continued treatment and testing. Residents within a quarter-mile area of the sample area have been notified by CodeRED. Tips to eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites around the home: •Do not allow water to accumulate in the saucers of flowerpots, cemetery urns, or in pet dishes for more than two days •Get rid of tin cans, old tires, buckets, unused plastic swimming pools, or other containers that collect and hold water •Clean debris from rain gutters, remove standing water from flat roofs, and repair leaks around faucets and air conditioners •Change the water in birdbaths and wading pools at least once a week •Fill or drain puddles, ditches and swampy areas •Check for trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps used to cover boats or pools, and arrange the tarp to drain the water For information on mosquito precautions and management, visit the Mosquito Management section from the Colleyville.com homepage.
