2024 Service Requests
Vector Control Technician Devon checks a utility vault for mosquito larvae while responding to a report of biting mosquitoes in the area.
The total number of service requests was higher than average in December (161 requests compared to a five-year average of 133). This is because of more requests than typical in the categories of “rodents” and “ticks.” Tick-related service requests are more numerous than average (39 compared to a five-year average of 19) because of a special project evaluating the presence of ticks in yards which has only been conducted the past three years. The remaining categories are near average for the month.
Service requests in the category “other” included requests regarding cockroaches and possible bites of unknown origin.
