Mosquito Spraying Schedule

During mosquito season, the City receives weekly sprayings on Fridays. Spraying will start each evening at approximately 9 p.m. The schedule will be completed as indicated, conditions permitting.

In addition to mosquito spraying, the City treats drainage ditches and the storm sewer system (areas of standing water) with Environmental Protection Agency-approved Altosid briquets. This is the most effective approach in reducing the mosquito population by killing the mosquito larvae before it has the opportunity to become an adult.

West Nile Virus is a mosquito-borne virus. The elderly and small children are at a higher risk for disease caused by WNV. Avoid outside activity at dusk and dawn during mosquito season (May to October). Wear protective clothing. Make sure that door and window screens fit tightly. Drain all standing water. Make sure roof gutters drain properly; clean clogged gutters.

Additional information on West Nile Virus can be found on the Texas Department of Health Web site. Residents can also call the Public Works Department at 281-275-2450 or Animal Control at 281-275-2596.
