All households and members in the clusters assigned to either of the interventions or control and willing to sign informed consent to participate in the malaria study for two years will be included.
Villages close to the shores of the two Rift Valley lakes and endemic for malaria will be included in the study to minimize the variation between villages.
The flight distance of mosquitoes will be considered in selecting clusters for the study to reduce the diversion effect of the intervention and contamination due to mosquito movement.
All cattle except lactating cows and those planned to be used for meat in the near future will be involved in the study.
Those households that refuse to participate in the study or whose house structures are unsuitable for screening will be excluded.
