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

Abstract

Abstract. Tembalang Village is one of the endemic areas of DHF in the city of Semarang (IR 479,6/100.000population). The discovery of chemical resistance cases in mosquitoes requires another alternative as an effortto control dengue that is environmentally friendly, cheap and effective, namely by using mosquito traps withattractants. This study aims to determine the differences in the types of effective attractant materials to beused 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, strawsoaking water and PAM water as a control. Environmental observations were carried out to determine thedensity of mosquitoes in Tembalang Village. The results showed that the type of attractant most favored bymosquitoes was brown sugar yeast (73,37%) and sugar yeast (26,62%). Meanwhile, the mosquito density inTembalang sub-district was low at 1.375 with the most found mosquito population being Culex (55.7%) andthe highest fishing place in the house (59%).

EFEKTIVITAS VARIASI KONSENTRASI FERMENTASI GULA MERAH SEBAGAI ATRAKTAN NYAMUK Aedes aegypti DI PT. X

“…Atraktan adalah sesuatu yang memiliki daya tarik terhadap serangga (nyamuk) baik secara kimiawi maupun visual (fisik) 4 . Atraktan dapat digunakan untuk memengaruhi perilaku, memantau kepadatan vektor atau menurunkan populasi nyamuk secara langsung tanpa mengganggu binatang lain dan manusia, serta tidak meninggalkan residu pada makanan atau bahan pangan 5 Pengukuran kelembaban dilakukan sebanyak 3 kali dalam 2 jam pada pukul 08.00, 09.00, dan 10.00. Berdasarkan tabel 3. dapat diketahui bahwa hasil pengukuran kelembaban dengan menggunakan hygrometer didapatkan hasil pengukuran kelembaban berkisar antara 60 -88%.…”
