The total number of service requests in August was lower than average (392 requests compared to a five-year average of 569).  Yellowjackets and other wasp requests were the furthest below average (199 compared to a five-year average of 326) but it is still the most frequently requested service, as is typical in the summer. Mosquito and Mosquitofish related service requests were also much lower than the five-year average, which is fortunate, as it gave Vector Control technicians time to focus on checking for breeding sources around an Aedes aegypti detection in Redwood City.

Service requests in the category “other” included insect-related inquiries about fleas, flies, ants and bees.

This graph shows the number of service requests of each category from each month of 2026.
