Various control efforts has been done at several areas through chemically or naturally control. Developing mosquitoes trapping tool is an alternative method to control mosquitoes besides insecticides utilization. This laboratorium research utilize sugar fermen ted process to yield CO 2 as one of attractan to mosquito. Production of ethanol and CO 2 can be yielded from anaerob sugar ferm en ta tion proccess (without O 2 ) by khamir Saccharomyces cerevisiae activities. The trapped mosquitoes was observed up to 48 hours exposure, the highest average of mosquito trapped is on solution treatment with yeast 1 gram (43.2%) and 40 gr sugar (48.4%). The highest effectivity oftrapping tool both inside or outside was on the 14 th day. There were declained amount of trapped mosquitos on 16 th and 18 th days. This laboratorium research has described that trapping tool with sugar fermented solution were effective to control population of dengue vector. Keywords: trapping, sugar fermentation, Aedes aegypti
