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.

Really appreciated your quick response - within 24 hours of calling about a problem, technician Hector arrived and was so helpful. He is knowledgeable, patient, friendly and offered realistic solutions to problems. Thank you.

Silverfish don't bite and don't carry disease, but they can damage items in your home. They love humid places, so keeping your home as dry as possible is the best way to keep them from moving in.
Winter and spring are tick season here in San Mateo County. Vector ecologist Tara collected all these ticks on trails at a local park. If you'll be spending time outdoors in tick habitat, don't forget to dress defensively, use an EPA-registered repellent, and check for ticks!
