2026 Service Requests

The total number of service requests in January was a little lower than average (157 requests compared to a five-year average of 178). The two largest categories, rodents and mosquitoes, were both less frequent than most usual. Service requests often drop in winter when insects are less active and residents spend more time indoors.
Service requests in the category “other” included inquiries about blowflies and holes of unknown cause.
