====Other mosquito control methods====
People have tried a number of other methods to reduce mosquito bites and slow the spread of malaria. Efforts to decrease mosquito larvae by decreasing the availability of open water where they develop, or by adding substances to decrease their development, are effective in some locations.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Martello E, Yogeswaran G, Reithinger R, Leonardi-Bee J | title = Mosquito aquatic habitat modification and manipulation interventions to control malaria | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 2022 | issue = 11 | pages = CD008923 | date = November 2022 | pmid = 36367444 | pmc = 9651131 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD008923.pub3 }}</ref> Electronic mosquito repellent devices, which make very high-frequency sounds that are supposed to keep female mosquitoes away, have no supporting evidence of effectiveness.<ref name="Enayati-2007" /> There is a low certainty evidence that [[Fogging (insect control)|fogging]] may have an effect on malaria transmission.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Pryce J, Choi L, Richardson M, Malone D | title = Insecticide space spraying for preventing malaria transmission | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 11 | issue = 11 | pages = CD012689 | date = November 2018 | pmid = 30388303 | pmc = 6516806 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD012689.pub2 | collaboration = Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group }}</ref> Larviciding by hand delivery of chemical or microbial insecticides into water bodies containing low larval distribution may reduce malarial transmission.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Choi L, Majambere S, Wilson AL | title = Larviciding to prevent malaria transmission | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 8 | issue = 8 | pages = CD012736 | date = August 2019 | pmid = 31425624 | pmc = 6699674 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD012736.pub2 | collaboration = Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group }}</ref> There is insufficient evidence to determine whether larvivorous fish can decrease mosquito density and transmission in the area.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Walshe DP, Garner P, Adeel AA, Pyke GH, Burkot TR | title = Larvivorous fish for preventing malaria transmission | journal = The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews | volume = 2017 | issue = 12 | pages = CD008090 | date = December 2017 | pmid = 29226959 | pmc = 5741835 | doi = 10.1002/14651858.CD008090.pub3 | collaboration = Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group }}</ref>
