Accumulated organic debris in catch basins improves the efficacy of S-Methoprene against mosquitoes in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 26(2), 172-182.http://hdl.handle.net/10315/29203West 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.Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 CanadaPublic HealthScience and TechnologyResearch Summary
