A bed net is a factory-treated mosquito net made with netting material that has insecticide incorporated within or bound around the fibres. It repels, disables and/or kills mosquitoes coming into contact with the insecticide on the netting material. The net must retain its effective biological activity without re-treatment for at least 21 standard washes under laboratory conditions and three years of recommended use under field conditions. Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets are considered the most effective tool of prevention against malaria and, as a result, are a key pillar in the fight against the disease.
