Such strategies typically employ a combination of host and non-host targeted treatments which often include fipronil-based, rodent-targeted bait boxes. Bait boxes target small-bodied rodents, specifically white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus Rafinesque) that not only play a crucial role in the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis Say (Ixodida: Ixodidae)) life cycle, but also in the transmission of numerous pathogens, primarily Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt &amp; Brenner (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae), the causal agent of Lyme disease. This study aimed to determine the effect of bait box deployment configuration on tick burden reduction while also further exploring bait consumption and P. leucopus abundances as measures of bait box usage and effectiveness. Boxes were deployed on nine properties within each of six neighborhoods (n = 54) in two different configurations: grid and perimeter. Multiple factors were analyzed as potential predictors for reduction in tick burdens using a backward stepwise selection procedure. Results confirmed the perimeter configuration was a more effective deployment strategy. In addition, overall P. leucopus abundance was a significant predictor of tick burden reduction while bait consumption was not. These findings not only further support the recommended perimeter deployment configuration but provide insight into effective utilization in areas of high P. leucopus abundance. The identification of this significant relationship, in addition to configuration, can be utilized by vector control professionals and homeowners to make informed decisions on bait box placement to make sustained impacts on the I. scapularis vector and associated pathogens within an ITM framework.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjab200","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]],"date-time":"2021-12-15T12:54:59Z","timestamp":1639572899000},"page":"591-597","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Integrated Tick Management in Guilford, CT: Fipronil-Based Rodent-Targeted Bait Box Deployment Configuration and <i>Peromyscus leucopus<\/i> (Rodentia: Cricetidae) Abundance Drive Reduction in Tick Burdens"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Megan A","family":"Linske","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Vector Biology & Zoonotic Diseases, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, P.O.
