Press Release: Denton County Schedules Ground Fogging in Response to Positive WNV Mosquito Trap

May 28, 2026 – Denton County Public Health (DCPH) is reporting one positive West Nile Virus (WNV) mosquito trap in unincorporated Denton County. The positive mosquito trap is located in the unincorporated area south of Argyle.

DCPH will conduct fogging three times in the area near the positive WNV mosquito trap beginning Friday, May 29, 2026, through Thursday, June 4, 2026, weather permitting. Truck-based ultra-low volume fogging will occur between the hours of 9 PM and 5 AM.

DCPH advises residents to take the following steps to minimize risk of contracting WNV:
• Drain standing water in your yard and neighborhood to minimize mosquito breeding sites such as bird baths, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters. Consider the use of BTI briquettes, often called mosquito dunks, in standing water that cannot be eliminated.
• Dress in long sleeves and pants when you are outside and spray thin clothing with repellent.
• Defend yourself by using EPA-registered repellent. Check for ingredients like DEET, Picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.

Detailed maps of fog areas are located on the DCPH West Nile Virus website at DentonCounty.gov/WNV, along with additional information including mosquito maps, latest news, and facts about WNV. Residents in the affected area are being informed via emergency alerts and signage.

It’s that time of year again, Bartonville! Momma Goose has returned to the Kroger on E. FM 407.

She doesn’t need any help from humans. Geese are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which means it’s illegal to disturb or interfere with the birds, their nests, or their eggs.

A fun fact while she’s here! Geese sometimes sleep standing up or with their heads tucked backward onto their backs. It can look a little strange if you’re not used to it, but it’s totally normal. They’ll also rest on one leg to conserve heat.

And if you’re wondering why she returns every spring — this is nesting season. Geese often come back to the same spot year after year to lay their eggs and raise their goslings. Once the babies hatch, the whole family will eventually waddle off together toward safer water.

So please give her plenty of space, enjoy her seasonal visit, and let Momma Goose do her nature thing.

“These aren’t the citations you are looking for..” so we appreciate you not going light speed!🚨

May the Fourth be with you!
