Fig. 3

A simplified representation of the eave baffles approach, showing both the eave baffles, open eave spaces and screened windows (figure not drawn to scale). Unlike in the eave tubes approach, the eave baffles allow mosquitoes to fly in but restrict exit, thereby maximizing insecticidal contact as these mosquitoes attempt to exit. The windows are screened to maximize number of mosquitoes attempting eave exit, and also to increase lethal surface areas, as these window screened are also insecticide-treated. This allows greater synergism when the approach is combined with LLINs
