Answers:
On their web site " Bed nets prevent malaria transmission by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of transmissions occur!. The African malaria mosquitoes generally bite late at night or early morning, between 10:00 p!.m!. and 4:00 a!.m!. A bed net is usually hung above the center of a bed or sleeping space so that it completely covers the sleeping person!. A net treated with insecticide offers about twice the protection of an untreated net and can reduce the number of mosquitoes that enter the house and the overall number of mosquitoes in the area!. " That is pretty interesting, I had never heard of it before!
