2025 Service Requests
The total number of service requests in February was very close to average (156 requests compared to a five-year average of 155). However, individual categories varied more substantially from average. There was an unusually high number of dead bird requests (24 compared to an average of 9) likely because reports of avian influenza have increased concern among residents about dead birds. Tick-related service requests were low for February (3 requests compared to an average of 18), because this year the District completed residential tick inspections for a special tick project in January rather than continuing into February as in past years.
Service requests in the category “other” included insect related requests regarding bees, cockroaches, midges, and crane flies, and non-insect related requests concerning mites.
