In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Altosid SR-20 (active ingredient, S-methoprene 20%) larvicide applications using truck-mounted ultra-low volume (ULV) dispersal equipment to target Culex pipiens Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) and Cx. restuans (Theobald)larvae. A combination of emergence bioassays, open-field measurements of deposited S-methoprene and spray distribution using gas chromatography\u2013mass spectrometry, and assessments of adult Culex spp. populations in response to applications were conducted over the summer of 2020 within the North Shore Mosquito Abatement District (IL, USA). Open-field applications revealed that dispersed Altosid SR-20 using ULV equipment was effective (75% emergence inhibition in susceptible lab strain Cx. pipiens larvae) up to 53 m. In suburban neighborhood applications, we found that S-methoprene deposition and larval emergence inhibition (EI) in front yards did not differ significantly from backyards. An overall EI of 46% and 28% were observed for laboratory strain Cx. pipiens and wild Cx. restuans larvae respectively, and both had an EI significantly higher than the untreated control group. The EI of exposed wild Cx. pipiens larvae did not differ from the untreated controls, suggesting an increased tolerance to S-methoprene. No difference in abundance of gravid or host-seeking adult Culex spp. post-application was detected between treated and untreated sites. These results document the ability of area-wide application to distribute S-methoprene, but this strategy will need further modifications and evaluation for Culex spp. management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjac170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]],"date-time":"2022-12-09T14:31:52Z","timestamp":1670596312000},"page":"384-391","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Assessment of Truck-Mounted Area-Wide S-methoprene Applications to Manage West Nile Virus Vector Species in the Suburbs of Chicago, IL, USA"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Haley E","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison , 1656 Linden Drive, Madison, WI 53706 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Clifton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Shore Mosquito Abatement District , 117 Northfield Road, Northfield, IL 60093 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin E","family":"Harbison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Loyola University Chicago , 2160 South First Avenue, Maywood, IL 60153 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anastazia","family":"Erkapic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"North Shore Mosquito Abatement District , 117 Northfield Road, Northfield, IL 60093 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gregory A","family":"Barrett-Wilt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biotechnology Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison , 425 Henry Mall, Madison, WI 53706 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7180-7392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"Paskewitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, University of Wisconsin-Madison , 1630 Linden Drive, Madison, WI 53706 , USA and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5149-9452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lyric","family":"Bartholomay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison , 1656 Linden Drive, Madison, WI 53706 , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023030708314131800_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.2987\/17-6697R.1","article-title":"Truck-mounted Natular 2ec (Spinosad) ULV residual treatment in a simulated urban environment to control Aedes Aegypti and Aedes Albopictus in North Florida","volume":"34","author":"Aldridge","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
