DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - New mosquito pools are confirmed positive for West Nile Virus in Dallas.

Weather permitting; the areas below are scheduled for mosquito control spraying between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Tuesday Aug. 18 and Wednesday Aug. 19 each night.

2400 block of Bahama Drive (75211): Anniels Drive on the north, Cliffdale Avenue on the west, Kessler Woods Trail on the east and Jefferson Blvd on the south.

2600 block of Grayson Drive (75224): Wynnewood Plaza on the north, S Polk Street on the west, I-35E on the east and Driftwood Drive on the south.

While the insecticide is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for treatment, residents in the above areas should avoid contact with the spray by staying indoors.

People inside a vehicle while trucks are actively spraying should remain in their vehicles with the windows up and the air conditioner on until the trucks pass and the spray is no longer visible. Persons out during the scheduled spraying time should be alert for trucks and should not follow them.

Residents who come in contact with the spray are advised to wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. The spray breaks down quickly in the presence of sunlight and has no residual effect.
