Mosquito Control at Home in Kenya: Nets First, Then Everything Else
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.
