Tuck the net under the mattress to keep the mosquitoes out. Tuck netting over a crib under the mattress or select a net long enough to touch the floor. The net should be pulled tightly to keep young children safe. If the sides of the net are sagging in the crib, tie them to other objects.
If you have a small child, you may want to use a larger net. If you are using a large net, make sure it is wide enough for your child to fit through. Make sure the bottom of your net is at least 6 inches above the ground.

How do you use a mosquito net for the first time?
The first thing to do when you get a new impregnated net is to put it out in the shade for at least 24 hours before use. Pesticides used to treat the nets so that they kill or repel mosquitoes can be toxic to bees and other pollinators.
The second thing you should do is make sure that the net you are using has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before you use it. This is especially important if you have been using the same type of net for a long period of time.
If you don’t do this, you may end up with a net that is not as effective as you would like it to be.
How many holes does the mosquito net have?
Most mosquito nets will specify how many holes they have per square inch of fabric, this usually ranges from 156 through to 400, with 400 being the most effective.
Does mosquito netting really work?
The distribution of mosquito netsimpregnated with permethrin or deltamethrin has been shown to be an extremely effective method of malaria prevention. According to the 2015 Nature study, mosquito nets saved an estimated 663 million cases of Malaria in the world.
(WHO) estimates that malaria is the leading cause of death in children under 5 years of age in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is estimated to kill more than 1.5 million children every year in Africa alone. States alone, the number of children who die from malaria each year exceeds the population of New York City.
How do you hang a canopy without a drill?
Pull a lightweight fabric, such as mosquito netting or tulle, through an embroidery hoop. If you want to install the fabric inside the hoop, you have to pull it evenly and screw the hoop back together. Depending on how you want the canopy to drape, the fabric can be as long as you desire. Attach your fabric to the top of your canopy.
You can use any fabric you like, but be sure to use a fabric that is at least 1/2-inch thick. If you are using a mesh canopy, you will need to cut a hole in the bottom of the mesh to allow for the thread to pass through. This hole should be about 1-1/4 inches in diameter.
Cut a piece of fabric about the same size as the hole you just made, and thread it through the holes. Make sure that the threads are not too tight, as this will make it difficult to attach the fabrics to each other.
Can people see through mosquito nets?
The light coming from the objects on the far side of the screen is reflected from the black net, so the eye can’t see it. In a white net you can see the reflection of light from objects in front of you, but you cannot see anything behind you. The only way to see a reflection is to look at it from a different angle than the object you are looking at.
