Differences In Types Of Attractant In Light Trap With Electrocutor On The Number Of Flies Trapped At The Processing Place Of PT. X

Abstract

Flies play a role in health problems, namely as vectors for transmitting diseases to humans. Flies transmit several diseases such as dysentery, cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea. The Food Processing Place at PT. X can be a potential area for fly density. The results of fly density measurements at the food processing place at PT. X did not meet the requirements, namely 5 fly population indices, so it was included in the moderate category, and the fly population needed to be controlled. This study aims to determine the differences in the types of attractants in light traps with electrocution on the number of flies trapped in the food processing place at PT. X. This type of research is a quasi-experimental study with a post-test with a control research design. The treatments given were 3 (three) types of attractants, namely, carp gill attractants, freshwater shrimp attractants, and rotten tempeh attractants. The population in this study were all flies at PT. X. The samples used were 24 samples. Observation data were analyzed using the One-way ANOVA test and the Post Hoct test. The results of the study after being analyzed using the One-way ANOVA test showed that the sig data P-Value (significant) = 0.000 <α (0.005), the results of the study the number of flies trapped in the carp gill attractant was 34, freshwater shrimp attractant were 25, rotten tempeh attractant was 15, and control was 5. The results showed that the most effective attractant in attracting flies was the carp gill attractant as many as 34. Suggestions for further research are to improve the design of the tool and increase the power of the electric wire to be more effective in killing flies.
