Add the rest for evenings and daytime. The price tag is only half of what a fridge or a cooker really costs you. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Sleep under a treated net. - Remove standing water around the home. - Use repellents and coils for evenings. Quick answer Kenya's main vector control tools are insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying, with larval source management as a supplement. Retail surveys show people also buy coils, topical repellents and sprays for use outside sleeping hours. Electric devices are an extra layer at best: they should not replace a net where malaria is a risk.
