Table 1 Effect of polyethylene sheet thickness on attraction of An. gambiae to attractant baited sachets

Treatment	N	Number of mosquitoes trapped
Treatment	N	n	Mean ± S.E
Blend IB1 in sachets with optimal sheet thickness	12	633	52.75 ± 4.46^a
Blend IB1 in 0.03 mm-sachets	12	495	41.25 ± 5.2^b
Control sachets (optimal sheet thickness)	12	58	4.83 ± 0.9^c
Control 0.03 mm-sachets	12	42	3.50 ± 0.8^c

N refers to the number of replicates and n to the total number of mosquitoes trapped. Mean (±S.E) numbers of mosquitoes trapped with different letter superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05).
