Perbedaan Jumlah Lalat Tertangkap Sticky Trap Antara Menggunakan Umpan Ekstrak Buah Durian Dengan Umpan Ekstrak Kayu Manis

Abstract

Given the fact that flies are attracted by strong odors, flies controlling  can be carried out
by using scent lure trap. However, flies’ most preferred scent has not been known. This study aims
to determine difference in the number of flies caught on sticky traps between using lures of durian
fruit extract and cinnamon extract lure. Durian fruit extracts contains alcohol while cinnamon
contains eugenol.
This is a quasi-experimental design research with Only Control Group Design Post-Test.
This research was conducted in TPS of Bukit Barisan. This study covers the extraction with alcohol
solvent. The extraction result was then dropped into the sticky trap and subsequently used to catch
flies.
The results shows that there were higher average number of flies caught on sticky trap of
cinnamon extract lure with 12-21 flies / trap than those in durian fruit extract trap which were only
10-14 flies / trap. The results of the data analysis by T test shows that there were difference in the
number of flies caught on sticky traps between using lures of durian fruit extract and cinnamon
extract (P = 0.033 <0.05)
It is advisable  to use physical ways of using sticky traps with durian fruit or cinnamon . In
addition to their safety and environmentally friendly, they are proven to reduce flies population.
