Proportions for each survey period are compared using GLMMs with a binomial distribution, a categorical explanatory variable for study year and a random factor for date.

a Proportion of mosquitoes caught indoors calculated as: (I18→06 hrs)/(I18→06 hrs + O18→06 hrs)

b Proportion of mosquitoes caught during hours when most people are asleep calculated as: (I21→05 hrs + O21→05 hrs)/(I18→06 hrs + O18→06 hrs)

c Formed the reference category for the GLMM
