people can control mosquito levels in VietNam by
applying
Bti to breeding sites, paving irrigation channels, and
eliminating waste water. And they can protect
themselves
from mosquito bites by using bednets and window
screens,
planting lemon and eucalyptus trees (which act as
natural
barriers to the mosquito), and fumigating their homes
by
burning eucalyptus branches and leaves.
