Mosquitoes can carry diseases like malaria, yellow fever, many
types of encephalitis and dengue. Almost 600 million people die
each year with mosquito-born diseases. What can you do to
prevent getting bitten?
Mosquito netting is important because it prevents an insect
bite that carries infectious diseases. It comes in a variety of
shapes, color and purposes. Here are some guidelines for you to
choose the perfect mosquito netting.
1) Size and shape: The size of the net should be spacious. It
should have enough space to cover your whole body while
sleeping. The mosquito netting should provide you with your
needed air circulation. A mosquito net with holes of 1.2mm x
1.2mm is the most used and the most recommended.
Rectangular mosquito nettings are more advisable to use because
it provides much needed space for you and your friends. Pyramid
shaped mosquito nets could be used for individual purposes.
2) Material: There are two most common material used in
mosquito netting – polyester and cotton. Mosquito netting made
of polyester is lightweight that could be used for camping and
other traveling needs. It lasts longer than cotton nets because
cotton is not water-resistant and weighs more when wet. But
cotton mosquito netting could offer a more comfortable rest
when used outdoors. Both of these kinds of netting are
available in different sizes and thickness of the thread used.
For a more efficient mosquito net, it is recommended to
purchase a net that has been sprayed with high quality
insecticides. If the nets are pre-treated with insecticides,
the mosquito net repellant could be useful at least for a year
depending on heat and rain exposure. If insecticide is no
longer there, you could always buy from your nearest store.
3) Purpose: The mosquito netting is perfect for a number of
situations. It could be used outside of your backyard as
gazebos and umbrellas. It could be used in your house as doors,
windows and balconies. It could be used in traveling and in
camping. Whatever the case may be, it could be used anywhere
you may go.
4) Variety: The mosquito netting could be purchased in a number
of styles and shapes for your preference. Here are some of the
basic kinds of mosquito nets available in stores.
