(ROCKWALL, TX – June 15, 2015) The City of Rockwall Mosquito Abatement Program has continually monitored mosquito populations in live mosquito traps in various locations around the City. Those samples are sent to the Texas Department of State Health Services to be tested for the West Nile Virus. At this time, there have been no mosquito traps that have tested positive for the West Nile Virus.
According to the City Health Official, there are no reported human cases of West Nile Virus within the City limits. Throughout the spring and summer, the City will treat stagnant pools of water and small ponds with mosquito larvicide on public property. The mosquito trapping and larvicide program will continue through the summer. The City urges citizens to use measures of personal protection for yourself and your family when outdoors and wants to emphasize the importance to monitor your property for ponding water, which is conducive for breeding of mosquitos.
You may also contact the City to schedule a treatment of stagnant bodies of water in public areas. City crews will treat the area within 48 hours. For more information, please call the Parks & Recreation Department at (972) 771 -7761.
