A third round of aerial spraying for some portions of Denton County has been scheduled after Friday's night spraying was cut short by high winds.
Portions of some Denton County cities were not part of the planned Friday night aerial spraying to ward off mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus after strong winds cut the spraying time short. According to reports from Dynamic Aviation's official twitter feed, the spraying was cut short before portions of Southlake, Flower Mound, Lewisville and Haslet could be sprayed. It's unclear how much spraying was completed before grounding the planes Friday night. Spraying is to resume Saturday night starting at 9 p.m.A third spraying for those areas that were not sprayed Friday night has been planned for Sunday, Bob Martinez, emergency preparedness coordinator for Denton County Public Health said."The areas that did not get sprayed last night will get sprayed tonight with the rest of the county and then again Sunday night," Martinez said. A new map of the areas that will be affected by a third spraying is being prepared and Martinez said it should be available on the county website later today. The spraying is being conducted through a partnership between Clarke and Dynamic Aviation, Martinez said.
