  abstract = {{T}he efficacy of an experimental long-lasting insecticide-treated ham mock ({LLIH}) with a long-lasting treated net used as a blanket and made of the same fabric (polyethylene) was tested in a concrete block experimental hut, against the malaria vector {A}nopheles gambiae s.l. and the arbovirus vectors and nuisance mosquitoes {M}ansonia africana ({T}heobald) and {A}lansonia uniformis ({T}heobald). {T}he {LLIH} was treated with the pyrethroid insecticide permethrin. {I}t was evaluated concurrently with ignited mosquito coils over 20 successive weeks. {I}n total, 2,227 mosquitoes (130 {A}li. gambiae an 2,097 {M}ansonia spp.) corresponding to 27.8 mosquitoes per trap-nigbt were collected in the untreated but (control). {T}he repellent effect of both coils and {LLIH} significantly reduced the number of mosquitoes entering the huts (35- 60%). {T}here was no significant difference between {LLIH} and mosquito coils in blood-feeding inhibition (93-97%) or in mortality (88-98%). {T}he {LLIH} is more cost-effective and user-friendly than mosquito coils, which need to be replaced nightly to protect people sleeping indoors from mosquito bites. {T}he effects of {LLIH} oil exophagic vectors also need to be investigated because most people that steep in hammocks are outdoors.},
