In the fight against malaria-carrying mosquitoes, just add soap

/doubt

Could the solution to the decades-long battle against malaria be as simple as soap?

No. And not simple.

What a terrible choice of title.

If adding hand-wash dish soap works with a family of insecticides but not with another one, it's not simple. And it's not just the soap. Also the 'new' insecticides, neocotinoids, are quite problematic on their own, which also makes them not simple to use.
