A mosquito trap sample tested positive for West Nile Virus in Arlington, according to a news release. Tarrant County Public Health found the positive sample located near Douglas Court at North Cooper Street and notified the city of Arlington.

The city will conduct ground spraying in the affected area between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. June 16-17. A water-based permethrin product — a broad spectrum insecticide — is used for mosquito control and is not considered an unreasonable risk to human health by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency.

The city of Arlington recommends residents with chemical sensitivity or breathing conditions can reduce potential exposure by staying indoors during spraying times. The city encourages Arlington residents to follow three D’s for mosquito protection.
