Schematic diagram of experimental set up within one district. A block of three locally representative houses was used to evaluate the following combinations of trapping methods: (1) HLC indoor and HLC outdoor, (2) CDC-LT indoor (placed beside an occupied bed net) and ITT outdoor, and (3) WET combined with two PRTs (one indoor and one outdoor) and two BRTs (one indoor and one outdoor). Trapping methods were rotated through all houses according to a 3 × 3 Latin Square design. Aside from the person acting as bait for the CDC-LT, all residents were free to choose whether or not to sleep under their pre-existing bed nets.
