Sean's answers to a few questions about working with the District:
What is your favorite part of your job?
One of my favorite parts of the job is flying our drone to treat mosquito larvae in hard-to-reach areas with standing water. It’s an exciting and effective tool that helps us replace older, less efficient methods of mosquito control.
What is your favorite fact about mosquitoes in San Mateo County?
Some mosquito species in our county only travel a few hundred feet from where they hatch, while others can fly up to 20 miles. I never would have imagined such a tiny insect could cover that kind of distance!
Our staff work throughout the entire County. Where is the best view in the County?
One of my favorite views in the county is a spot nicknamed “Top of the World,” located along Crestview Drive in San Carlos. From there, you can take in stunning views of the Bay to the east and watch the weather roll in over the mountains to the west—it's a beautiful and peaceful place.
What residents have to say about Sean
Sean was amazing. He took his time looking around my house for rodent entryways. He was able to find the small hole where the rodents were entering into my crawl space. Completely solved my rodent problem after several years of futile efforts with a pest control company. Your service was amazing.Resident
