What is being done to protect residents against West Nile Virus?
The City of Highland Village relies upon surveillance, both by residents and City crews, to identify and eliminate any standing water which could serve as a breeding place for mosquitoes and larvae. Typically larvae will thrive in still, shallow water less than 15 inches deep. Bird baths, pet bowls, wading pools, tire swings or any similar receptacle with standing water can serve as a breeding place for mosquitoes. .
The City utilizes progressive methods of protection which include public education, larvacide, and adulticide.
