Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eksperimen. Hakekat penelitian eksperimen (experimental research) adalah meneliti pengaruh akibat adanya perlakuan (menggunakan ekstrak daun pepaya dan ekstrak daun cengkeh) yang dioles ke tangan probandus lalu menghitung besar daya tolaknya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada ekstrak daun papaya memiliki keefektifan sebagai repellent pada konsentrasi 10%, 15%, 20% dan 35%. Pada ekstrak daun cengkeh memiliki keefektifan sebagai repellent pada konsentrasi 10% dan 15%. Jika dibandingkan antara kedua bahan maka ekstrak yang paling efektif adalah ekstrak daun papaya karena memiliki keefektifan daya tolak yang lebih baik berdasarkan pada standar Departemen Pertanian tentang pengujian pestisida. Daya tolak ekstrak daun pepaya juga memiliki keefektifan yang konsisten dar jam ke 1 perlakuan hingga jam ke 6 dengan persentase ≥ 90%. Penelitian ini menyarankan agar masyarakat bisa lebih memanfaatkan bahan alami sebagai repellent dalam mencegah penyebaran penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue.
