A wind-sensitive vane apparatus was designed and implemented specifically to accommodate the attachment of otherwise unidirectional insecticide treatment cages used in ground ultra-low volume mosquito adulticide field tests. This cage support system is useful in keeping the potential West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis vector Culex quinquefasciatus caged mosquitoes oriented into the wind during field efficacy tests. Testing capacity for resistance surveillance was tripled during the 2005 season, and more reliable results were achieved as a consequence.
