Vectors

Vectors are potential carriers or transmitters of disease organisms. Examples include rats, mosquitoes, flies, and mice. The Environmental Health Services Division staff responds to complaints regarding these pests but does not perform any active pest control services.

Mosquitoes

Mosquito questions can be handled by the Mosquito Abatement District-Davis . Also, information about human health and West Nile virus is available.

Rats

Rat complaints and sightings are common throughout the county. The bureau provides information and guidance on eliminating these pests from your property. Please see the informational letter for more details on rats. Call the staff at (801) 451-3296 for further information or concerns.

Rabies

Rabies is a very serious, almost always fatal disease caused by a virus found in the saliva of infected animals. The Davis County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services should be advised of any animal bites received in the county so that a determination can be made on the need for rabies testing. Dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, and bats that are involved in a bite/attack are commonly examined for the rabies virus. For more information, please see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information.

In partnership with the Davis County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services and the Utah State Public Health Laboratory, the Davis County Health Department’s Environmental Health Services Division oversees the delivery and test results involved with rabies testing of animals.
