Double Oak Town Council Approves Aerial Mosquito Control Spraying

After much discussion and public input, the Double Oak Town Council has approved a measure during an emergency meeting to conduct aerial spraying. The August 24 meeting was held in response to Denton County’s declaration of a West Nile Virus Health Emergency on August 22. The declaration by the County triggered a request to the Department of State Health Services to make additional resources available to Denton County for aerial mosquito spraying. Municipalities have a small window of time to take advantage of the opportunity to be included in the aerial spraying program funded by the state.

When the exact times and dates of the aerial sprayings are known, all efforts will be made to inform Double Oak residents. Residents are encouraged to check the Town website daily and to monitor local media sources.
