After each use, the nozzle should be cleaned carefully with the toothbrush that is included in the kit.
Handle and use insecticides carefully. They can be dangerous to health.
Appropriate vector control measures of proven efficacy must be implemented in all MSF projects located in malaria endemic zones. In open settings, vector control must be considered and planned with the help of specialists.
For advice on the specific application method, see the MSF guide "Public Health Engineering in Precarious Situations" and/or contact your technical department.
Caution, inadequate spraying can lead to resistance to insecticides.
