Table 4. Reasons for non-use of bed nets.

Financial or procurement constraints

Financial expense associated with bed-net purchase

Inability to find bed-nets at farms (i.e., bed-net purchase had to be made prior to coming to farms)

Utility or credibility constraints

Bed-net trapped heat during the high temperatures of the hot season

Bed-net ill-suited for MW sleeping situation (i.e., for “indoor use”, whereas most MWs slept outside)

Doubts regarding bed-net effectiveness due to the size of their mesh
