Comparison of Sugar Fermentation and Shrimp Immersion Water Effectiveness as Attractant on Mosquito Trap
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Mosquito traps can be equipped with attractants as a lure of the presence of insects. Objective: This study aims to obtain the type of attractant that can catch mosquitoes with the highest number of the mosquito being trapped. Methods: This type of research is purely experimental design with a control group. The Mann Whitney test was used to find out the average effectiveness of fermented sugar and shrimp immersion water when used as attractants. Result: The results of the study indicated the significant difference in the number of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes attracted by the fermentation of sugar and shrimp immersion water. Conclusion: Mosquito traps with shrimp immersion attractants can be socialized to the community as a better vector control than sugar fermentation because it is simple, safe and environmentally friendly.
