Abstract

Mosquitoes are spread all over the world, mosquito-borne diseases are serious health problems. Mosquito coil can prevent contact between mosquitos and humans. Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin B.) contains active ingredients that can serve as insecticide which are saponin, flavonoid, and essential oils. In this study, the effectiveness of mosquito coil made from patchouli waste against Aedes aegypti was analyzed. This research was an experimental design. The object of the research was female mosquitoes of Ae. aegypti age 2-5 days and was fed with 10% sugar solution. Mosquito coil test was done by observing the mortality of mosquitoes in 24 hours after exposure to burning mosquito coil, with three replications. One way Anova and probit analysis were used to analyse the data. The mortality rate of Ae. aegypti due to mosquito coil made from patchouli waste at 6.25%, 10%, and 16.67% concentrations was 45% ̶ 91%. The mortality rate of Ae. aegypti at 16.67% concentration of patchouli waste showed no significant difference compared to transfluthrin 0.03% as positive control (p value >0.05). KT 50 and KT 95 on mosquito coil patchouli waste were faster at 16.67% concentration, ie 34.38 minutes and 58.09 min, while on transfluthrin 0.03% it took 10.03 min and 33.74 min. There is no difference between the mean mortality rate of mosquito due to mosquito coil made from patchouli waste at 16.67% concentration and transfluthrin 0,03%.
