Mosquito Netting Criteria (Cont.)
For effective protection, mosquito nets should fulfill the following:
Optical inspection:
Inspect the mesh size and intactness of your mosquito net. Only an intact mosquito net with a suitable mesh size, adequate fastening and spacious sleeping room can offer reliable protection against mosquito bites. Click here to buy mosquito nets that fit all these criteria.
Insecticide impregnation:
One can always spray a mosquito net with an insecticide but it is more efficient
to purchase one that has already been impregnated with a high
quality insecticide such as Permethrin.
Usually 350-500 mg. per squared meter is a good amount and are
pre-treated at the mosquito netting manufacturing plant. There
are many advantages to using an impregnated mosquito net not
the least of which is that it continues to offer some protection
even if your mosquito netting becomes ripped or torn.
