Abstract

West Nile is a serious public health issue in Ontario. This research shows that in modifying treatments for mosquito populations 6 times fewer mosquitoes survive than traditional approaches. Rather than cleaning and treating catch basins in the spring municipalities should clean catch basins in the fall and treat them with Methoprene in the spring to maximize mosquito control.
