1. Professor Robert Jackson:

   Evarcha culicivora has a particular hankering for Anopheles mosquitoes – the very mosquitoes notorious for being malaria vectors, this little spider is a predator that likes us and eats our enemies.

2. Lynn Goldman:

   Basically the anopheles likes to rest on a wall surface between feedings and thus is poisoned by the DDT that is on the walls, also there are insecticide impregnated bed nets -- usually with pyrethroids, and, infrequently, with DDT -- to guard against malaria transmission while sleeping. Bed nets also are very effective.
