Service Requests in August 2019
This table contains the number of each type of service request in August 2019 compared to the four-year average in August. Total service requests are higher this August than the four-year average. The higher number is largely because of 608 yellowjacket and wasp service requests, which is a record month for the District. Mosquito service requests are near average, even though trap collections show above average mosquito population abundance this summer. Dead birds are lower than usual this summer, because there has been no West Nile virus activity in the bay area this season.
