- Abstract
Indonesia is dealing with a public health issue called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), which is spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. To manage the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the primary carrier of DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever), many measures have been taken, including fumigation using malathion for adult mosquitoes and abatization using temefos for the larval stage (young stage). In addition to employing Permethrin, the community needs help from another approach or methods to help control the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The goal of this study was to ascertain how permethrin concentration, used as a curtain dyeing agent, affected the Aedes aegypti population. At FMIPA UNP’s Integrated Research Laboratory, the investigation was carried out utilizing a Randomized Block Design with six different permethrin concentration treatments and three replications. According to the findings, the concentration of permethrin affected how many Aedes aegypti mosquitoes died after coming into contact with permethrin-dyed drapes. The shortest mosquito paralysis time was discovered 24 h after immersion at a concentration of 2.0% permethrin, and the highest mortality rate was discovered at this dosage after 24 h of immersion. Permethrin-dyed curtains have a noticeable impact on reducing Aedes aegypti mosquito populations.
