Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is currently endemic in most parts of Indonesia. In 2014 the number of dengue patients reported as many as 100.347 cases with the number of deaths as many as 907 people (IR/Morbidity = 39,8 per 100.000 population and CFR/Mortality = 0.9%). One effort to reduce mosquito bites by using organic pesticides from Mat powder lime peel (Citrus aurantifolia). This study aimed to determine the effect of the use of lime peel powder Mat as mosquito repellent for deadly mosquito vector Aedes sp. This research to design experiments Quasi Post Test Only With Control Group, which will result in the analytic analysis using One-Way Anova test and LSD with a signifi cance level (α) = 0.05. Statistical analysis One Way Anova with a signifi cance value of 0.000 means that there was a signifi cant difference between the weight variation Mat bark powder lime (Citrus aurantifolia) against the percentage of deaths Aedes sp. and the greater the weight gain greater mortality rate. The result LSD best weight in the average lethal mosquito Aedes sp. was 4 grams with the death persentation are 97%.
