“…In addition, the lighting conditions around the location of the light trap placement, also play an important role in attracting mosquitoes to be trapped into the light trap. In conditions of light that is brighter and with high light intensity, the light from the UV lamp contained in the light trap can not attract mosquitoes to enter the trap [10,11,12].…”

Residents with a history of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) have the potential to be a source of dengue transmission, because of Antibody-dependent Enhancement (ADE) phenomena. East Ungaran district is one of DHF endemic area, in Central Java. Kawengen village has the highest risk of DHF outbreaks in East Ungaran. Important step is needed, to prevent transmission of DHF. By knowing the population profile of male mosquitoes, it can be easily estimated the number of fertile female mosquitoes. This study aimed to know profile distribution of male DHF potential vector in Kawengen village. Population of this study was all of mosquito in Kawengen area. The sample was trapped by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) miniature lighttrap and taken with total sampling technique. This is qualitative research. Using entomology surveillance through a descriptive observational research approach with cross sectional design. The survey form is using the Magpi 5.5.7 application to collect diversity mosquito, male:female mosquitoes,and vegetation. The results found an Aedes, Culex, and Mansonia. Proportion male:female of mosquito are Culex(67.56%), Aedes(29.73%),and Mansonia(2.71%). Density of male mosquitoes was lower than female,and vegetation was highly potential as resting also breeding site. So, it is assumed there are low number of fertile female mosquitoes.

Mosquito pest control is a recurring matter that requires constant monitoring and attainment. This is due to the creature being able to spread various deadly diseases and mosquitoes are responsible for the death of one million people every year. The conventional prevention methods of using insecticides and bug zappers are somewhat less effective and affect the environment in various ways such as the extinction of beneficial insects, the biological evolution of mosquitoes, and climate changes. In this study, a solar-powered mosquito trap is created to trap mosquitoes by sucking them in using a fan while being attracted to a built-in LED to lure them into the trap. An air quality monitor is equipped to observe the change of temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) of the surroundings and as a method to centralize the installation of the trap. The monitor display and air quality data retrieval are processed by an Arduino microcontroller. In the prototype observation, it was shown that the temperature increased proportional to CO2 concentration. The power efficiency of this device increased by 30% when using a solar panel. At optimal sunlight exposure and adequate battery capacity, the device would run for more than 24 hours and would get charged instantly on the next day when sunlight is present.
