What is the best way to make people accept Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) to prevent Malaria?

The IRS is one of the ways to kill mosquitoes that cause malaria. It involves spraying insecticide on the inner walls and every surfaces of the houses. Many people tend to refuse spraying.

Well you don't just spray and hope for the best. Not only that but you could infact cause someone to have an alergic reaction. That, could be very bad. believe it or not DEET can kill you. All you need is to be sprayed while yuor immune system in compromised in some way. One minute later you are dead.
I was almost killed by that stuff so I know how it feels. It is the most helpless feeling you I have experianced.

I would use Permathrin or a close relative of that for my spraying. However you will need ot respray at least once every two weeks as it will break down faster than many other pesticides. don't spray it around fish as it will kill them D E A D dead.

Also lemmon sented ammonia sprayed on the shrubs and grass around the yard helps to keep tham away as well. The plants will benefit from the ammonia and you will benefit from the lemmon sent.

Fans are also a great use because the little critters follow Co2 to get too their prey. ( your breath ) Move some air around and they will have a harder time finding you.

Garlic, rubbed on the exposed skin will also deter the little beggers and keep them from you as well. The big draw back to that is you may well run off all you freinds and neighbors as well.

Make certain all the guter are free of litter with no standing water. same for anything else outside the house that may hold water. ( get rid of it) Remover the breading ground and you will remove houndrededs of those pesky things. If you have a small pond for decoration buy some guppies to put in there they will eat the mosquito larva that may be in there.

This is my suggestion take it or leave it. I used too own and opperate a pest control company and I know what I am taling about.
