Monthly animals & pests requests

How many animals & pests 311 requests Washington 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 Washington’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as animals & pests:

  • Dead Animal Collection
  • Rodent Inspection and Treatment

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <washington_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Dead Animal Collection',
  'Rodent Inspection and Treatment'
)

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.
