Abstract

Vector control needs to be done so that the environment is healthy and free from disease. Flies are one of the vectors for diseases such as diarrhea. Parts of flies that can play a role in disease transmission are legs, wings, body hair, feces and vomit. Flies like habitats with poor sanitation are very attracted to bad smells, piles of wet garbage, vegetables, and scraps of meat, this condition can be described by market conditions. The sweet market in Purwokerto can be a potential place for disease spread. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of fly traps with electric current in reducing fly density in Pasar Manis, West Purwokerto District, Banyumas Regency. This type of research is research and development to develop and test tools and to determine the effectiveness of tools in reducing fly density. Samples were taken non-randomly, namely at TPS, loss of meat and storage of vegetables. The data analysis used was univariate to calculate the effectiveness of using the Flaytrap With Electric Current tool and bivariate analysis using the paired T test to determine differences in fly density before and after treatment. The results of the study obtained a sig value (P-value) of 0.004. The sig value shows that the sig value. (P-Value) α (0.05), so there is a significant difference between the results of measurements of fly density before and after treatment using Flytrap with Electric Current and the efficiency of the tool in reducing fly density by 42.87%. For further research, it is necessary to add attractants with strong odors so that they can attract flies into the trap.

Highlights

  • Health effort is any activity and or series of activities carried out in an integrated, integrated, and sustainable manner to maintain and improve the degree of public health in the form of disease prevention, health improvement, disease treatment, and health restoration by the government and / or the community(UU No 36, 2009)

  • The body parts of flies that can act as a means of transmitting disease are legs, wings, body hair, feces and vomit (Subagyo et al, 2018)

  • Based on previous research by Satrio Juang Prasasi, Ulya Rahmawati, and Deri Kermelita in 2017 regarding the analysis of the density level of flies in meat booths at Panorama Traditional Market, Bengkulu City, the results showed that the highest distribution of flies was at point 3 as many as 32, and the distribution The total number of measuring points was 301 flies, the highest average fly density level was at point 3, which was 20 heads / block grill, and the average yield of all points at Pasar Panorama Bengkulu City was 12 heads / block grill (Satrio Juang Prasasi; Ulya Rahmawati; Deri Kermelita, 2007)

Summary

Introduction

Health effort is any activity and or series of activities carried out in an integrated, integrated, and sustainable manner to maintain and improve the degree of public health in the form of disease prevention, health improvement, disease treatment, and health restoration by the government and / or the community(UU No 36, 2009). According to HR Blum, there are four factors that influence the degree of health, namely environmental factors, behavioral factors, health service factors and genetic factors. Environmental factors are very influential in improving health status. According to the Directorate General of PPM and PLP (1991, p.1) flies are essentially insects that are widespread throughout the world (Depkes RI, 2001). The body parts of flies that can act as a means of transmitting disease are legs, wings, body hair, feces and vomit (Subagyo et al, 2018)
