Abstract
A mosquito control net includes an occupant chamber and a trap chamber disposed over the occupant chamber. The trap chamber has one or more openings disposed on an outer surface thereof, through which mosquitos enter the trap chamber, the openings having receptacles attached therein and extending within the trap chamber to inhibit egression of mosquitos from the trap chamber after entry. A method for preventing mosquito bites for a subject can include providing such a mosquito control net and having the subject occupy it. A kit of parts for converting a conventional mosquito control net into a trapping mosquito control net can comprise a funnel-shaped receptacle surrounded by a bag, the bag being substantially impermeable to mosquitos and the receptacle and/or the bag being attachable to a top surface of the conventional mosquito control net to form a trap compartment.
