Various ways to control dengue vector One of them is by using natural insecticides. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of lime peel powder (Citrus amblycarpa) as an electric mosquito repellent against the death of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in the field larvae. This study uses a true experimental design conducted at the Tanah Bumbu Health Research and Development Center. The object of this research was lime peel powder (Citrus amblycarpa) which was used as a natural insecticide against the Aedes albopictus mosquito. The larvae used were Aedes aegypti larvae instar III which were hatched at the Research and Development Center of P2B2 Tanah Bumbu and the results of larval collection using ovitrap in the Martapura Health Center Area 1. Susceptibility test for larval mortality and data collection by counting the number of dead Aedes albopictus larvae after being exhibited with skin extract lime for 24 hours at concentrations of 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%. The LT50 mortality of larvae with lime extract was 2.78 hours (5%), faster than the mortality of larvae in the control group using abate. The results showed the potential of Limau Kuit peel extract as a larvicide in controlling the dengue vector.
Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan untuk mencegah dan menanggulangi DBD, seperti penggunaan larvasida. Hanya saja nyamuk DBD sudah mulai rentang dengan temephos yang selama ini sering digunakan oleh masyarakat. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini akan memberikan pelatihan pembuatan larvasida alami dari limau kuit. Pelaksanaan akan diawali dengan pemberian edukasi dan proses pembuatan larvasida kemudian dilanjutkan dengan pelatihan pembuatan larvasida kepada masyarakat. Pelaksanaan pengabdian akan dilakukan di Desa Berangas yang merupakan salah satu wilayah dengan kasus DBD yang banyak di Kabupaten Barito Kuala. Hasil pre dan post test rata-rata nilai peserta setelah mendapatkan materi sosialisasi mengalami peningkatan dari 63,3% menjadi 83,3%. Sebanyak 96,7% peserta mengalami peningkatan pengetahuan. Peserta diberikan pelatihan pembuatan larvasida dari Ekstrak Limau Kuit. Target luaran dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah peningkatan keterampilan masyarakat dalam membuat larvasida alami.
