Monthly animals & pests requests
How many animals & pests 311 requests Ottawa residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as animals & pests: Complaints about loose, injured, or dead animals on public property; dog bites; wildlife concerns (coyotes, raccoons); and rodent or pest sightings.
In Ottawa’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as animals & pests:
- Bylaw Services
- Roads and Transportation
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <ottawa_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Bylaw Services',
'Roads and Transportation'
)Analyst tip: Austin prefixes everything 'Animal Protection - ...'. Calgary uses 'AS -' for animal services and also files rodent calls under 'Parks - Wildlife Management'. NYC does not currently have a dedicated animal service_type in our mapping — rodent and wildlife complaints land under building or street categories in that city.
Source & provenance
Counts on this page are derived from Ottawa’s official open 311 data feed, covering January 2025 through April 12, 2026. Category assignment uses an AI-generated mapping from the city’s raw service types to a normalized cross-city category. View the underlying dataset at open.ottawa.ca.
