%X Introduction: To overcome the problems of periodic re-impregnation of mosquito nets and low rates of treatment, the commune of Aguegues was chosen to evaluate the effects of Olyset  nets on malaria transmission and against An. gambiae. Methods: 87 old Olyset  nets installed five years ago were identified in the village ¡®Akpadon¡¯. 10 untreated nets were installed in 10 structures of type ¡°a bedroom and parlour¡± in the village ¡®Akodji¡¯. Four rooms without nets were identified in the village ¡®Donoukpa¡¯. Entomological and epidemiological evaluations were conducted during the May to October 2011. 24 sessions of capture or 2088 men-nights resulted in the capture of 30,608 mosquitoes. Results: The entrance of anopheles was significantly reduced in the village with Olyset  nets. 45% of mosquitoes captured inside rooms with Olyset  nets were found dead after 24 hrs of observation. Overall, parasitemia was very low in the treated village (4.52%). 18 (4.64%) cases of malaria fever were from Akpadon with 7.5% positive blade smear, 29 (10.98%) were from Akodji with 8.37% positive blade smear, and 80 (95.23%) come from Donoukpa with 38.09% positive blade smear. The Olyset  nets and untreated net were adjusted hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Olyset  net had a very high knock down effect and is an alternative in malaria control
