Abstract

aegypti is the main vector of dengue fever in Indonesia. Its control using synthetic chemical insecticides has a negative impact on public health. Botanical insecticides made from extracts of bay leaves and noni leaves (Morinda citrifolia L.), as well as a combination of the two (known as Damesa), are expected to provide an alternative solution to reduce the negative effects of synthetic chemical insecticides. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of noni and bay leaf extracts, as well as the combination of Damesa, in killing Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The study was conducted through an experimental design using a control group (Post Test Only Control Group), where the experimental group received treatment or intervention (X) followed by a second measurement or observation (O2).
