What's Going to End Malaria? Insecticide Spraying
Insecticide Spraying
Indoor Residual Spraying (spraying on the inside walls of houses) is an incredibly important part of a comprehensive strategy in the fight against malaria. IRS helps kill the female mosquito after she feeds on a person, reducing malaria transmission to others. In some special cases, sprayings are used to eliminate or treat mosquito breeding sites. Because the African malaria- carrying mosquitoes are so prolific and have such a broad range of breeding habits, this type of "larval control" may only be applicable in some areas.
