Report
San Mateo County Mosquito & Vector Control District did a great job in providing me with mosquito fish for our unused backyard pond. BRIAN WEBER was very welcoming and knowledgeable, as was the office staff. Thanks, also, to Trustee WADE LESCHYN for referring me to the district.

Totally impressed with the quick response. Eric was here on the first work day after the holiday weekend. Nice guy too. He set some more traps so, hopefully, we'll get rid of our rat infestation
