Evaluation of the effectiveness of permethrin and DDT impregnated bed-nets against Anopheles maculatus.

A laboratory evaluation of cotton and nylon bed-nets treated with permethrin and DDT was carried out by releasing blood-fed An. maculatus for 30 minutes in the treated net. Results show almost 100% mortality up to one year after treatment. A ten minute exposure on the outside of the net also gave similar results. Even after washing the nets continued to give very good results. A method of treating the nets is described.
