Abstract
There are some plants that have a distinctive odor and which smell is not liked by mosquitoes. 
 one of the plants that is easily obtained and doubly beneficial for humans is pandan wangi 
 leaves (pandanus amaryllifolius oxb) and tamarind leaves. The purpose of this study was to 
 determine the effect of acidic extract of tamarind leaves on Aedes aegypti mosquitoes at 
 various concentrations and the effect of persistence (length of time) of tamarind leaf extract 
 applied on the test of Aedes aegypti mosquito, the method used is the experimental method, 
 which is testing pandan wangi leaf extract and tamarind leaves with various concentrations on 
 mosquito control. So the design used is a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results 
 showed that essential oils of pandan wangi leaves and tamarind leaves had an effect on the 
 repellent power of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes at 07.00-10.00 WIB and at 15.00-17.00 WIB. At 
 the observations at 07.00-10.00 WIB, giving the most fragrant pandan leaves oil at 
 concentrations of 50% and 90% with expulsion power of 89.7% and 91.3%. Whereas in the 
 observation at 15.00-17.00 WIB the use of essential oils of pandan wangi leaves expelled the 
 mosquitoes at a concentration of 70% with an expulsion of 89.3%, and the mosquito acid of 
 the mosquitoes which was displaced by 89%. The next suggestion is to use other plants 
 besides pandan wangi and tamarind leaves which are not widely used to control mosquitoes, 
 especially mosquitoes that can cause diseases such as Aedes aegypti.

Summary
Aceh Barat merupakan Kabupaten yang mempunyai potensi terjangkitnnya penyakit demam berdarah. Pada musim penghujan Kabupaten Aceh Barat sering terjadi banjir yang menggenangi setiap permukiman. Berbagai upaya pengendalian telah dilakukan dalam mengendalikan vektor Deman Berdarah Dengue (DBD), salah satunya yaitu dengan penggunaan insektisida kimia yang dianggap lebih efektif dalam menanggulangi vektor. Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD), merupakan penyakit yang masih sering terjadi di berbagai daerah. Pada tahun 1968, di Indonesia mulai ditemukan kasus penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) terutama di Jakarta dan Surabaya. Negara-negara tersebut memiliki kisaran suhu yang sama dengan kisaran suhu optimum bagi kehidupan nyamuk. Penyakit ini mulai ditemukan di Asia Tenggara setelah Perang Dunia II dan selama 15 tahun terakhir menjadi masalah kesehatan bagi masyarakat dunia (Hastowo et al, 1992 dalam Sanjaya dkk, 2006)
