Integrated vector control for mosquito-borne disease prevention is often organized at the community level, but tick control is primarily coordinated at the household and individual level. Management of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis (Say), the vector of the causative agent of Lyme disease in the Midwest and eastern United States in peridomestic environments may be critical as many tick encounters are reported to occur in the yard. Therefore, we assessed the effectiveness of a widely available and low-cost pesticide that targets common lawn pests and is labeled for use against ticks. In June 2019, we evaluated a granular form of gamma-cyhalothrin in a placebo-controlled residential backyard study (n = 90) in two communities in Wisconsin. The product applied by the research team reduced nymphal blacklegged ticks in plots established in the lawn part of the ecotone by 97% one week after application at both communities and by 89\u201397% three to four weeks postapplication. The proportion of homes with at least one nymphal tick postapplication was significantly lower at acaricide-treated homes and ranged from 4.2 to 29.2% compared with placebo homes where at least one nymphal tick was found at 50\u201381.5% of homes. These results support the efficacy of a low-cost do-it-yourself strategy for homeowners seeking to reduce blacklegged ticks in the yard.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjaa212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]],"date-time":"2020-10-27T11:45:49Z","timestamp":1603799149000},"page":"749-755","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Do-It-Yourself Tick Control: Granular Gamma-Cyhalothrin Reduces <i>Ixodes scapularis<\/i> (Acari: Ixodidae) Nymphs in Residential Backyards"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Gebbiena M","family":"Bron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin \u2013 Madison, Madison, WI"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xia","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin \u2013 Madison, Madison, WI"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan M","family":"Paskewitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Wisconsin \u2013 Madison, Madison, WI"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021031215310044200_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ttbdis.2016.10.006","article-title":"Exposure and preventive behaviours toward ticks and Lyme disease in Canada: Results from a first national survey","volume":"8","author":"Aenishaenslin","year":"2017","journal-title":"Ticks Tick.
