In 2024 the county sent 19 animals for rabies testing, and none were positive. For mosquito or rodent reports inside Midland, the city's site offered nothing readable, so phone the city and ask where those go. Rats come with a state disease count.
DSHS says rats and their fleas are the natural reservoirs of flea-borne typhus, that opossums and pet cats may also pass it on, and that people catch it from an infected flea. Its provisional statewide count is 1,110 human cases for 2025 and 715 for 2026 up to September 30.
