The Effect of Modified Ovitrap toward Aedes Aegypti Mosquito Larvae Trapped

Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the effect on the number of larvae modified ovitrap trapped. This research was quasy experiment. The subjects were 80 homes with attached 200 ovitrap consisting of 100 pieces ovitrap modified: hay infusion 10% and 100 pieces of modified ovitrap: waterwells at four RT in the Village Tembalang and Bulusan. The result showed that the rate of HI, CI, BI and ABJ on modified ovitrap: hay infusion 10% higher than the modified ovitrap: water wells. The results found significant differences between the modified ovitrap with hay soaking water modifiedovitrap: water wells to the number of larvae (p = 0.001). It is recommended that communities should play an active role in eradicating the mosquito Aedes aegypti with installation ovitrap modified to reduce Aedes aegypti mosquito populations by breaking the cycle of life.
