Two traps had mosquitos that tested positive for West Nile Virus, leading Burleson city officials to conduct ground-based spraying for mosquitoes Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31.
Spraying will be in targeted subdivisions within a designated spray zone in the vicinity of the 300 block of NW Hillary Street and the 300 block of W. Eldred Street. Trucks with fogging apparatus will perform the spraying.
Spraying is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. and end by 5 a.m. each day, weather permitting. In the event of inclement conditions or wind speeds in excess of 10 mph, spraying will be rescheduled.
The spraying method targets flying mosquitoes that come in contact with the pesticide in the spray or fog.
