Care Plus Compact Bell Mosquito Net - Mosquito nets keep insects and other vermin at a distance and ensure a peaceful nights rest. Mosquito nets only provide extra protection against mosquitoes and malaria mosquitoes when they are closed on all sides, are made of durable polyester and their mesh is no courser than 1.75 mm. If the mesh is too fine, it can become muggy under the net in a damp tropical or subtropical climate and so is not suitable for those purposes. Care Plus Mosquito Nets were designed in Care Pluss own atelier and are manufactured under the strictest quality standards. The high-quality multi-fibre polyester is ideal for durable impregnation and guarantees a long life span.Impregnation For optimum protection it is essential to impregnate the mosquito with the proper concentration of contact insecticide. The contact insecticide used on the Care Plus Mosquito Nets is deadly for mosquitoes and other vermin, but harmless to people. Impregnation provides extra protection as mosquitoes do not even get the chance to land on and bite through the net. The WHO recommends long lasting impregnated mosquito nets for high-risk malaria areas (tropical Africa, Amazon region, parts of South East Asia). Mosquito nets are available in three varieties untreated, standard impregnation, and long lasting Impregnation (LLI). Untreated mosquito nets are ideal for at home. When travelling to areas where malaria is a risk factor, impregnated mosquito nets are recommended. Standard impregnated mosquito nets remain effective for 6 months when used. The nets are washable but no longer effective once washed. After being washed just once they must be impregnated again. The useful lifespan of the impregnation improves if impregnated mosquito nets are stored in a dark space after use. Besides these standard impregnated mosquito nets there are also Long Lasting Impregnated (LLI) mosquito nets. Tropicare was the first to introduce them in 2003. By using this new technology the impregnation remains effective 5 times longer than standard impregnatedmosquito nets. Furthermore, the nets can be washed without losing their effectiveness. All LLI mosquito nets manufactured by Tropicare meet the requirements of the WHO(World Health Organization). The impregnation is effective up to 2.5 years when used daily and the nets can be washed up to 20 times! Tropicare has once more joined the World Health Organisations Roll Back Malaria Campaign. This time Tropicare is supporting the Transparent World Foundation. This foundation is striving for more public awareness about malaria and local aid that works (www.driveagainstmalaria.org). Among other things, information is provided locally and mosquito nets and medicines are being offered to the local population, particularly in Africa. When you buy a Care Plus Mosquito Net, you are supporting these projects.Initiative takers for the Drive Against Malaria are Julia Samuel (Veronica, RTL-FM) and David Robertson. For years now, they have been selflessly making efforts to spread more understanding about malaria, the infectious disease that affects 500 million (!) people every year. For every Care Plus Mosquito Net sold, one mosquito net is donated to the local population of Africa for the Transparent World Foundations small-scale aid projects.More info on Duralin ImpregnationDurallin coating Why use an impregnated net? A mosquito net impregnated with insect repellent offers better protection from biting insects. The insects can not hindurchstechen by the network and in small openings in the network can not penetrate the insect to you. An impregnated net recommends the WHO (World Health Organisation) for their stay in malarial regions in Asia, Africa and Central and South America. DAWA What is technology? The Durallin coating is shown in the latest preservation technology. This was originally commissioned by the WHO (World Health Organization) developed to improve the impregnation of mosquito nets. The effectiveness of the impregnation of mosquito nets Durallin, among others, used in the context of malaria projects keeps longer. Thanks to the Durallin technology, the mosquito can be repeatedly washed without making it lost its effectiveness. How long does the Durallin coating? A normally impregnated mosquito net is in continuous use optimal effectiveness of about half a year. This life depends, among others, the action of sunlight, moisture and wear from packing and unpacking. The efficacy of an impregnated by Durallin technology network is up to five times longer than conventional impregnation. The network can be washed up to 20 times.
