Nyamuk Dewasa yang Terperangkap pada Jenis Atraktan Berbeda di Kelurahan Tembalang Kota Semarang

Abstract

. Tembalang Village is one of the endemic areas of DHF in the city of Semarang (IR 479,6/100.000 population). The discovery of chemical resistance cases in mosquitoes requires another alternative as an effort to control dengue that is environmentally friendly, cheap and effective, namely by using mosquito traps with attractants. This study aims to determine the differences in the types of effective attractant materials to be used in mosquito traps as an effort to control mosquitoes. This type of research is experimental with the Post- Test Only Control Group Design method. The sample of this study was 64 houses with repetitions of 6 times. Testing of attractants was carried out on 3 types of attractants, namely brown sugar yeast, sugar yeast, straw soaking water and PAM water as a control. Environmental observations were carried out to determine the density of mosquitoes in Tembalang Village. The results showed that the type of attractant most favored by mosquitoes was brown sugar yeast (73,37%) and sugar yeast (26,62%). Meanwhile, the mosquito density in Tembalang sub-district was low at 1.375 with the most found mosquito population being Culex (55.7%) and the highest fishing place in the house (59%).
