ZeroFly® Shelter - Features

• Is a long-lasting insecticide-incorporated plastic sheeting, which remains effective for up to one year
• Is a single solution to the dual needs for shelter and protection against vector-borne disease in complex emergencies
• Insecticide continuously migrates to the surface, which makes it highly effective against disease vectors, such as mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite
• Can be used to construct temporary shelter, latrines, hospitals and schools
• Is cost-effective as a malaria prevention tool, as insecticide is incorporated directly into a product that is often the first intervention in complex emergencies
• Saves delivery time for malaria control as shelter is often the first thing on ground, thus reducing the dependency on specialised control teams
• Is highly valued by refugees, as plastic sheeting is essential for shelter and survival
• When used on a large scale in a town or refugee camp, the product creates a ‘mass effect’ that brings down the density of pathogen-transmitting vectors in that area
• Has a black centre weave, which ensures opacity and thus privacy to the user
