The Clarendon Code Compliance/Animal Control Department received notification by the Texas Department of State Health Services of confirmed cases of West Nile Virus infections in our area.
Donley County had one reported equine case, Armstrong County also had one reported equine case, and Carson County had one confirmed human case.
It is highly recommended to keep grass and weeds cut as short as possible, as these areas are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Make certain you have no puddles or other standing water sources. Cover swimming pools when not in use. Equine owners should have their animals vaccinated as soon as possible.
Make good use of insect repellents when outdoors – especially in the early morning or late evening hours. Wear protective clothing, such as long-sleeve shirts and pants, when outdoors – Especially in the early morning or late evening hours.
If you have any further questions, contact the Code Compliance Department at City Hall at (806) 874-3438.
