Malaria is still a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa despite improvements in the diagnosisof the pathogens and large-scale deployment of vector control tools, such as long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS). According to the World Malaria Report 2021, a slight upward trend in malaria incidence was observed in 2020, after stagnation, between 2015 and 2019 [Today, the greatest burden of malaria occurs across in the World Health Organization (WHO) African region, with an estimated 228 million malaria cases and 602,000 malaria deaths [In Côte d’Ivoire, malaria transmission is perennial, albeit with a sharp increase during the wet season [Vector control by the national malaria control programme (NMCP) is based on sustaining high LLIN access and use, via universal coverage campaigns supplemented with continuous distribution from antenatal care campaigns and the expanded programme for immunization; targeted IRS in high transmission areas since 2020 and treatment. Since 2010, the NMCP, with the support of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), started scaling up mass distribution of LLINs to achieved universal coverage. Unfortunately, the large scale use of pyrethroid insecticides in public health as well as in agriculture has resulted in mosquitoes building up high resistance to the insecticide [In the Gbêkê region, central Côte d’Ivoire the In2Care (Wageningen, Netherlands) Eave Tubes, a new tool for the targeted delivery of insecticides against mosquitoes, attempting to enter houses through the eaves have been evaluated in a large-scale cluster randomized trial (CRT) between May 2017 and April 2019 [
