N =  Number of hut nights of experimentation conducted for each treatment.

n = number of mosquitoes caught.

a

Reference group (No entry point was screened).

b

A CDC Light trap was attacked by ants on one of the nights, thus no data was recorded for that particular hut night so N = 23 rather than 24.IQR  =  Interquartile range
