The city of Burleson was notified that mosquitoes in Zones 4 & 23 tested positive for West Nile Virus. In response, the city will conduct two nights of ground-based spraying for mosquitoes in these zones between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. on the nights of Thursday, July 3, and Saturday, July 5, wind and weather permitting. The ground spraying will be performed by trucks equipped with sprayers in targeted subdivisions within the designated spray zone. For more information call 817-426-9848. This brings us to a total of four positives during the 2025 season.

In the event of rain or if wind speeds are above 10 miles per hour, the spraying may be rescheduled. This method of spraying targets flying mosquitoes that come in contact with the pesticide in the spray. These times have been chosen because they are the times that most mosquitoes are active (flying).
Public Works will continue to scout for areas of stagnant water and apply larvicide when appropriate to kill mosquito larvae before they emerge as adults. To report standing water that has been stagnant for more than 7 days, please use the city's 311 reporting system.
If you would like to be notified of ground spraying in your area, we encourage residents to sign up for the city’s Emergency Alert system.
If you would like to opt out of ground-based spraying, we are happy to accommodate you. Please contact our Environmental Health Specialist for more information: ktanz@burlesontx.com
