Insecticide-treated bed nets

Insecticide-treated bed nets are specialized mosquito nets made from durable fabric coated with safe chemicals that kill or repel mosquitoes. They are used primarily to protect people from diseases like malaria, which are transmitted through mosquito bites. When properly used over beds, these nets create a physical barrier, preventing mosquitoes from reaching individuals while sleeping. The insecticide enhances this protection by killing or discouraging mosquitoes that land on the net, reducing the risk of infection. They are an effective, affordable, and widely recommended method for community-wide disease prevention in regions where mosquito-borne illnesses are common.
