<![CDATA[One alternative mosquito control that can be done to control the dengue vector is to use natural insecticides. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of lime peel powder (Citrus amblycarpa) as an anti-electric mosquito against Aedes aegypti mosquito mortality. This study uses a true experiment design conducted at the Central Research and Development Center for Vector and Disease Reservoir (B2P2VRP) Salatiga. The object of the research was the lime skin powder (Citrus amblycarpa) as a natural insecticide against the Aedes aegypti mosquito. A sampling of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes was done by a simple random sampling of 240 Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Vulnerability test for 20 minutes of exposure and holding for 24 hours. The effectiveness of kale lime peel extract in killing Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes after 20 minutes of exposure was 25% (1 gram), 10.0% (1.5 gram), 0% (2 gram), 100% (control +) and after being held for 24 hours 35% mortality was obtained at a concentration of 1 gram, 11.67 at a concentration of 1.5 grams, 0% at a concentration of 2 grams, 100% at the control (+). Probit analysis results obtained values ​​of LT50 68.03 seconds at concentrations of 1 gram, 216.39 seconds at concentrations of 1.5 grams, and 2.09 seconds in the control group (+). Post-hoct LSD analysis with the Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference between the extracts of lime skin powder (1 gram and 1.5 gram) and the control (+). Further research needs to be done using ethanol solvents to make anti-mosquito MAT.]]>
