Despite the wide-spread implementation of catch basin treatments in integrated vector management programs, there is little entomological evidence to suggest catch basin larvicide treatments reduce adult mosquito abundance and thereby impact WNV risk. We evaluated the impact of treating catch basins at three of four sites (700\u20131000 basins each) with a formulation of\n                    <jats:italic>Lysinibacillus sphaericus<\/jats:italic>\n                    using a stepped-wedge cluster trial approach in metropolitan areas in Wisconsin, U.S.A in 2019. Treatment effects were measured by evaluating immature stage mosquito abundance in catch basins and general additive models (GAM) to analyze changes of the integrated adult female\n                    <jats:italic>Culex<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. abundance and population stability sampled from host-seeking and gravid mosquito traps. We observed catch basin treatments to effectively suppress immature stages in catch basins (94% reduction of pupae). The GAM found catch basin treatment duration to significantly reduce the integrated abundance of gravid\n                    <jats:italic>Culex<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. mosquitoes, with a total mean percent reduction of 37% at treated sites. Treatment duration was also observed to impact the stability of the gravid\n                    <jats:italic>Culex<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. integrated abundance, with differences between untreated and treated sites, and among sites that differed in treatment duration. These results support the treatment of catch basins with biorational larvicides as a mosquito management tool for WNV vector species in similar metropolitan habitats provided adequate suppression of immature stage mosquitoes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0342150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]],"date-time":"2026-04-15T17:31:37Z","timestamp":1776274297000},"page":"e0342150","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Catch basin larvicide treatments impact adult mosquito West Nile virus vector species in metropolitan Milwaukee, WI, U.S.A."],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Haley E.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin E.","family":"Harbison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica L.","family":"Hite","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bradley J.","family":"Tucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
