Mosquito preparedness

Irving residents are reminded to prepare themselves for mosquito season this summer. Residents can defend themselves against West Nile virus by following the “Four Ds.” They are:

1. Dusk/Dawn – the times of day to stay indoors.

2. Dress – wear long sleeves and long pants when outdoors during these times.

3. DEET – an ingredient to look for when purchasing and using insect repellent.

4. Drain – minimize outside standing water so it does not become a mosquito breeding site.

For more information, call (972) 721-3755.
