From: Evaluation of a push–pull system consisting of transfluthrin-treated eave ribbons and odour-baited traps for control of indoor- and outdoor-biting malaria vectors

Charts representing mean numbers of mosquitoes caught per night per hut both indoors and outdoors when either push or pull was tested alone and when both push-pull tested together against Anopheles arabiensis. The figure is generated from data in Table 1, and the radii of the cycles approximate overall biting risk associated with each combination, i.e. control, push only, pull only or push-pull. Push-pull offered higher protection than traps alone against indoor-biting (83.4% vs. 35.0%) and outdoor-biting (79% vs. 31%), but its advantage over repellents alone was non-existent against indoor-biting (83.4% vs. 81.2%), and was modest for outdoor-biting (79% vs. 63%)
