Graffiti Vandalism

The Street Division works very closely with the City of Wylie Police Department to apprehend graffiti vandals in the act of defacing property. 

Vector Control

Citizens having problems with mosquitoes should contact Public Works.  An inspector will survey the area and assist citizens in evaluating potential mosquito breeding areas.  The Street Division is responsible for larviciding (an agent when dissolved in water inhibits mosquito larvae growth) and adulticiding (use of an insecticide to destroy adult mosquitoes).  The City of Wylie’s Street Division can be contacted at 972.442.7588. 

Mosquitoes such as the Culex quinquefasciatus, otherwise known as the Southern House mosquito, have the ability to transmit diseases such as Encephalitis and the West Nile Virus.  Since mosquitoes can be carriers of disease, the City of Wylie’s Street Division randomly traps mosquitoes and sends these samples to the Texas Department of Health’s laboratories for analysis.  If a sample is positive for any disease, the residents in that area are notified.
