CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A pool of mosquitos tested positive in Agua Dulce, Nueces County leaders said Wednesday.
The news comes just a day after a second mosquito in Kingsville tested positive for the illness.
Residents in the area are encouraged to take the following precautions:
- Use mosquito repellant containing DEET
- Dress in long sleeved shirts and pants
- Avoid outside activities at dawn or dusk when mosquitoes are most active
- Drain any standing water to eliminate breeding
Nueces County Vector Control is spraying daily in the area outside the city limits of Agua Dulce and will continue to monitor the mosquito pools.
