In Gambia, the prevalence of Anopheles mosquitoes necessitates a reliable family size mosquito net. The local market has traditionally relied on thin, low-density fabrics that deteriorate quickly under the intense UV radiation of the Sahelian sun.
Current consumption patterns show a shift toward reinforced synthetic plastics. Because of the high humidity in the Banjul region, there is a critical demand for a fly net for bed that prevents mold growth and maintains airflow to ensure sleep quality during hot nights.
Economic constraints often lead to the use of makeshift netting, but the rise of healthcare awareness is driving the adoption of professional-grade fly nets for beds that offer long-term durability over disposable alternatives.
