Reducing heat and moistur..By Conny for Redesignme

I just read about mosquitos and learned, that their popilation and numbers are highly influenzed by the moisturization of the air.

As only hot air can hold a lot of moisture, maybe lowering the air temperature in the huts/houses also lowers the number of mosquitos (and their bites)

I am no expert in "natural" air conditioning, but planting trees and bushes in a way that they put houses in the shadow and using climbing plants on the outside walls could help to bring the temperature down a little.

White/reflecting paint is also a very effective way to isolate houses, but it is certainly a little too expensive to paint all existing buildings.... Maybe it could be used with new buildings - just try to make the outside as lightcoloured as possible...

Hopefully sharing these thoughts helps a little.
