2025 Service Requests
Vector Control Technician David sets a trap when responding to a resident's request for service about mosquito bites.
The total number of service requests in April was higher than average (410 requests compared to a five-year average of 308). All categories of service request were above average in April. Some were near average, but some were considerably higher, such as mosquito, rodent, wildlife, and dead bird requests.
Service requests in the category “other” included insect-related requests regarding bees, bumblebees, cockroaches, and midges, and other insects. Bee-related requests were especially numerous. Warmer sunny days increases activity of a variety of types of insects.
