Penerapan Ovitrap Larutan Tape Singkong dalam Pengendalian Nyamuk di RW 10 Kelurahan Harjamukti

Abstract

Kasus Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) berkaitan dengan tingginya populasi nyamuk Aedes sp. RW 10 Kelurahan Harjamukti memiliki kondisi lingkungan yang mendukung perkembangbiakan nyamuk dan rendahnya penerapan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui efektivitas ovitrap berbahan larutan tape singkong dalam menurunkan populasi jentik. Metode yang digunakan meliputi observasi selama 12 minggu, perhitungan Angka Bebas Jentik (ABJ), serta kuesioner dan wawancara. Ovitrap dibuat dari botol bekas berisi 200 ml air aquades, 50 gram singkong, dan 1 gram ragi tape. Hasil menunjukkan jumlah jentik berfluktuasi, dengan ABJ meningkat dari 32% menjadi 52%. Walaupun belum mencapai standar ideal (>95%), peningkatan ini menunjukkan ovitrap berpotensi sebagai alat pengendalian nyamuk. Faktor lingkungan turut memengaruhi hasil, dan partisipasi masyarakat berperan dalam keberhasilan program. Ovitrap larutan tape singkong dapat menjadi alternatif pengendalian nyamuk yang ramah lingkungan dan dapat diterapkan berbasis masyarakat.

Dengue Fever (DBD) is linked to the high number of Aedes mosquitoes. RW 10, Harjamukti Subdistrict, has poor environmental conditions that support mosquito breeding, along with low practice of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS). This study aimed to find out the effectiveness of ovitraps using fermented cassava (tape singkong) solution in reducing mosquito larvae. The method used included 12 weeks of observation, calculation of the Larvae Free Index (ABJ), and data collection through questionnaires and interviews. The ovitraps were made from used bottles filled with 200 ml of distilled water, 50 grams of cassava, and 1 gram of yeast. The results showed that the number of larvae changed weekly, with ABJ increasing from 32% to 52%. Although it did not reach the ideal standard (>95%), this increase showed good potential. Environmental factors also influenced the results. Community involvement helped support the program. This ovitrap can be a simple, eco-friendly method for mosquito control at the community level.
