A mosquito net is a protective barrier designed to prevent mosquito bites and reduce exposure to mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. It is commonly used over beds or sleeping areas to provide a safe sleeping environment, particularly in regions where mosquitoes are prevalent. Mosquito nets can be made from various materials, including polyester or cotton, and may be treated with insecticide to enhance protection. They are lightweight, portable, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Active Ingredient(s) / Generic Name
Some mosquito nets are treated with insecticides, most commonly permethrin or deltamethrin, which help to repel and kill mosquitoes on contact.

• Permethrin (commonly 0.5–1.0 g/m²)
