The total number of service requests in April was lower than average (276 requests compared to a five-year average of 314).  In particular, mosquito-related requests dropped from March to April, probably because many of the requests for mosquito control in March were seasonal non-biting midges emerging from lagoons and other waterways around the bay. Other categories were slightly below average, except for Insect identification and dead bird requests, which were a little more numerous than usual for April.

Service requests in the category “other” included insect-related inquiries about crane flies, cockroaches, midges, flies, fleas, and bees, including bumble bees.

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