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 near average in November (140 requests compared to a five-year average of 145).
All categories were also close to average. The most numerous category of requests was rodents, which remain active as the other large categories of mosquitoes and yellowjackets drop during the fall/winter season.
Service requests in the category “other” included insect-related requests regarding cockroaches and non-insect arthropod requests, such as mites.
