The number of mosquito landed on the box containing malathion 0.50 g/m2 range 65 tail, with a mean of 0.58 and standard deviation of 0.965, while the box containing malathion 0.75 g/m2 range from 51 tail with a mean of 0.46 and standard deviation 0.683 ; did not differ significantly (p = 0.822). The number of dead mosquitoes ranged from 0 s / d 3, with a mean of 0.05 and standard deviation 0.272. The number of dead mosquitoes on the box containing malathion 0.50 g/m2 range from 1 tail with a mean of 0.01 and a standard deviation of 0.094, while the malathion dose of 0.75 g/m2 range from 10 cows with mean 0.09 and standard deviation 0.369, different significantly (p = 0.017).Conclusion: There is no difference in the number of mosquitoes that land on both doses of malathion.
