The total number of service requests in June was much higher than average (774 requests compared to a five-year average of 420). All categories of service request were above average in June except for mosquitoes, but the largest difference was in the category of yellowjackets/wasps, which had 436 requests compared to a five-year average of 183. The reason for the spike in yellowjacket/wasp requests is uncertain but could be a result of a mild winter and not much spring rain. Rodent service requests were also much higher than usual, more than twice the five-year average (125 requests compared to an average of 62).

Service requests in the category “other” included insect-related requests regarding bees, bumblebees, flies and gnats. Warm sunny days increase activity of a variety of types of insects.

This graph shows the number of service requests of each category from each month of 2025.
