Abstract

Introduction : Dengue Haemmorhagic Fever (DHF) was one of arthropode borne diseases which was spread by mosquitoes. To prevent insect bites we could use synthetic repellent like diethyltoluamid (DEET). DEET usages for long time period could cause many side effects so we needed to seek natural repellent which was safe and effective. The aim of this study was to know the potential effect of lavender, rose and rosemary oil repellent to adult female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Methode :The research design was true experimental with Complete Random Sampling, comparatively. The effects of reppelents were examined by using one side method. Seven hundred and fifty Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which were separated into 5 groups, were given treatment randomly with of lavender, rose, rosemary oil, control and DEET 12.5%. Data were measured by counting the amount of mosquitoes which migrated from the side that had been given treatment. Data were analyzed by using ANOVA one way, continued with Tukey HSD test, α = 0,05 using computer software. Discusion : This study showed the amount of mosquitoes which migrated from the side which had been given lavender oil was 89.33%, rose 92.67%, rosemary oil 94.00% highly different significant (p<0.01) from control 8.67%. The conclusion was lavender, rose, and rosemary oil had potential effects as repellents. Conclusion :The potential effects of rose, and rosemary oil were similar to DEET 12,5 % (p>0,05), but lavender oil was lower than DEET 12,5 % (p<0,05).
