Objective : To analyze the effectiveness (larvae of Aedes sp caught ) the use of lethal ovitrap with various types of attractant to control Aedes sp .

Method : this study involves the quasi experiment and post test only control group design. Subject of the study is Aedes sp in nature. Data are analyzed descriptively and analytically by using One Way Anova statistical methods.

Result & discussion : The number of trapped- larvae of Aedes sp by  lethal ovitrap without attractant between 13-15. the number of trapped larvae Aedes sp by lethal ovitrap with various attractant average ranges between 30-95 in door and the average range 9 – 44 out door. There are significant differences amount Aedes sp larvae were caught between treatment both indoor and outdoor ( p = 0.008 and p = 0.007 )Conclusion : There are significant differences amount Aedes larvae were caught between treatment both indoor and outdoor, and lethal ovitrap with shrimp shells attractant water immersion is the most effective way to control Aedes sp mosquitoes
