WEST NILE VIRUS MOSQUITO SAMPLE FOUND IN ARLINGTON HEIGHTS
Tarrant County Public Health has confirmed a West Nile Virus positive mosquito sample was recently collected from a testing site at 4237 Lafayette Ave. in Arlington Heights.
The City’s Environmental Services Department officers will be monitoring the area looking for standing water, litter and debris that could invite mosquitos to breed and nest. You can help by removing standing water in empty flowerpots, pet bowls, outdoor toys, keeping your grass mowed, gutters cleaned, trees trimmed and dried leaves raked. If you’re working outside, wear long sleeved shirts and long pants and apply insect repellent that contains DEET.
If you see standing water at a location that’s not city property, please report it to the City’s Customer Care Center at 817-392-1234.
