Insecticidal nets against mosquitos
Insecticide-treated nets are treated with insecticides to repel, disable or kill mosquitoes which transmit malaria. Conventional insecticide-treated nets require re-treatment on a regular basis, while long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are designed to be effective without re-treatment for the life of the net.
