The City of Benbrook is spraying for mosquitos within a half-mile radius of the 8200 block of Circle S Road in north Benbrook. The area is generally bounded by Rush Street to the north; Williams Road to the east; Llano Avenue to the south; and Twilight Drive S to the west.

City crews will begin spraying at approximately 11:00 P.M. on Thursday evening, June 26, 2014, and expect to complete spraying at approximately 6:00 A.M. on Friday morning, June 27, weather permitting.

The spraying is in response to a positive reading of West Nile virus in a mosquito found in one of the traps used to obtain samples for testing, as confirmed by Tarrant County Public Health.

The City of Benbrook asks that residents remain indoors during the hours scheduled for spraying. Where possible, pets should be brought indoors as well.
