Happy Juneteenth! DCPH recognizes the importance of Juneteenth as a day that honors when the last slaves in the US were informed of their freedom in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865. On this date, President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was publicly read two and a half years after it was signed on January 1, 1863.

DCPH and WIC offices are closed today, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

Press Release: Denton County Schedules Ground Fogging in Response to Positive WNV Mosquito Trap

June 18, 2026 – Denton County Public Health (DCPH) is reporting one positive West Nile Virus (WNV) mosquito trap in unincorporated Denton County. The positive mosquito trap is located in the unincorporated area west of Argyle (northwestern portions of Harvest).

DCPH will conduct fogging three times in the area near the positive WNV mosquito trap beginning Saturday, June 20, 2026, through Friday, June 26, 2026, weather permitting. Truck-based ultra-low volume fogging will occur between the hours of 9 PM and 5 AM.

DCPH advises residents to take the following steps to minimize risk of contracting WNV:
• Drain standing water in your yard and neighborhood to minimize mosquito breeding sites such as bird baths, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters. Consider the use of BTI briquettes, often called mosquito dunks, in standing water that cannot be eliminated.
• Dress in long sleeves and pants when you are outside and spray thin clothing with repellent.
• Defend yourself by using EPA-registered repellent. Check for ingredients like DEET, Picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.

Detailed maps of fog areas are located on the DCPH West Nile Virus website at DentonCounty.gov/WNV, along with additional information including mosquito maps, latest news, and facts about WNV. Residents in the affected area are being informed via emergency alerts and signage.

Water wings or can create a false sense of security for parents when their child is near water. They are designed as toys, NOT safety devices, and can slip off or keep kids in an unnatural vertical position for swimming. Only use a U.S. Coast Guard-Approved if your kiddos can't swim and actively watch your kids around water.

With the approaching, big games and high temperatures are on the way! This summer, stay safe outdoors by hydrating, seeking shade, and taking breaks to cool down. If planning to be out all day, be sure to wear light, protective clothing, sunscreen, and accessories like hats and sunglasses to block UV rays. Remember to check the weather and venue details before heading out! Cheering for your team is important, but safety comes first.
