2025 Service Requests
The total number of service requests in June was much higher than average (765 requests compared to a five-year average of 528). All categories of service request were above average in July except for mosquitoes, and mosquitofish but the largest difference was in the category of yellowjackets/wasps, which had 528 requests compared to a five-year average of 321. 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.
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.
