🚨Scam Alert🚨

Our office has received several complaints about a company going door-to-door selling pesticide treatments. Sales representatives have reportedly told residents that they are working on a neighbor's property and noticed an issue at the resident's home. In some cases, they have claimed their services are related to City mosquito abatement or other City work.

As a reminder, City employees and contractors will never ask you to provide credit card information for work being performed on behalf of the City. If anyone requests payment or credit card information while claiming to represent the City, please contact our office right away.
