Flies is one type of Arthropod insect as a vector and carrier of disease. Control of flies by using chemical insecticides continuously results in resistance to flies and can pollute the environment. Another alternative that can be used is a plant insecticide that is derived from breadfruit leaf plants. Phytochemical results of breadfruit leaves have 1.88% Flavonoids, Saponins 2.26%, and Tanins 1.05%. The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of breadfruit leaf filtrate as a bioinsecticide of house flies (Musca domestica).This type of research uses pure experiments with a post test only control group design with a concentration of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, control and 5 replications. The number of house flies used was 375. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test.The results showed p 0.05 which means that there were differences in the average death of house flies by using various concentrations of each treatment. Probit test obtained Lethal Concentration (LC50) results at the first hour ie at a concentration of 5.189%, the 12th hour at a concentration of 3.930% and the 24th hour showed a concentration of 3.086%.Suggestions for other researchers can do the same research by comparing with other plants that contain active compounds that have the potential to kill house flies (Musca domestica). Other plants that have higher active compound content can be used as a recommendation for bio-degradable plant-based insecticides.
The case of dengue fever caused by Aedes aegypti female mosquitoes is still a problem in Indonesia because the case tends to increase every year. The purpose of study on the fermentation of young coconut water as a mosquito attractant is to determine whether there is any difference in the number of mosquitoes trapped by the fermentation of young coconut water concentration variation. The type of research conducted was a True Experiment, with the design ofpost test only control group. Research method was using trapping bottle provided with attractant with a concentration of 0% (control), 15%, 25%, and 35%. Location of research was done in Laboratorium Entomologi Kesehatan Lingkungan Politeknik Kesehatan Kemenkes RI Surabaya. Data were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis statistical test and advanced test of Mann Whitney. The result of Kruskall Wallis statistic test showed that there is significant difference (p <0,05) between control group and treatment group of variation of coconut water fermentation concentration to the number of trapped mosquitoes. Advanced tests of Mann Whitney showed that three concentration treatments (15%, 25%, and 35%) had the same potential because there is no significant difference. Higher mean rank values at the 15% coconut water fermentation concentration is because it has the ability of trapping mosquitos more compared to other concentration (25%, and 35%). Young coconut water fermentation has potential as an Aedes aegypti mosquito attractant. The use of young coconut water fermentation attractant is a method of controlling mosquito vectors that is environmentally friendly and inexpensive to use.
