The City of Frisco confirmed that one mosquito pool tested positive for West Nile virus this week. In response, the city’s third-party contractor will conduct ground spraying overnight starting at 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, through 5 a.m. on Sunday morning. Spraying will continue on Sunday night, June 28, ending at 5 a.m. Monday morning, provided weather and wind conditions permit.

The spraying will target specific areas within Frisco Avalon, Frisco Avalon North, Frisco Springs, and Meadow Hill Estates. Residents can view the affected zones on a map available on the city website. This detection marks the third positive mosquito pool in Frisco this year. However, no human cases of West Nile virus have been confirmed in the city in 2026.

The Texas Department of State Health Services urges residents to take precautionary steps to avoid mosquito bites. Residents are advised to wear long sleeves and pants when outside during dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. The use of insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus is recommended every time residents go outside.

Additionally, residents should drain standing water from bird baths, French drains, clogged gutters, saucers under potted plants, and splash blocks at the end of gutter downspouts. Mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus breed in stagnant water.

Frisco tests for mosquito pools from May 1 through November 15 as part of its Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan. Residents can check the GIS Mosquito Dashboard for locations and positive pools from previous years. More information on the city’s plan and prevention tips is available at Friscotexas.gov/Mosquitoes. For questions, residents may contact the City of Frisco’s Health and Food Safety Division at 972-292-5304.
