Why this matters in Flower Mound News
Flower Mound residents should take note of the West Nile Virus positive mosquito trap in nearby Harvest, as the city's proximity to the affected area increases the risk of virus transmission. The scheduled fogging in Harvest may help mitigate the risk, but it is crucial for residents to take preventive measures to minimize mosquito breeding sites in their own yards and neighborhoods. As part of the Lewisville Independent School District, Flower Mound students and families may also be affected by the presence of West Nile Virus in surrounding areas, including Lewisville, where a trap tested positive earlier in the season. By following Denton County Public Health's tips, such as draining standing water and using EPA-registered repellents, Flower Mound residents can reduce their risk of contracting the virus and help prevent its spread within the community.
