Abstract
Objective of this study aimed at comparing the efficacy of temephos bagging and applied directly in the water containers for prevent Aedes larvae and their residual effect in community. Using 180 cement water containers of 400 liters located in toilets. We divided samples into 3 groups and each group consisted of 50 jars, the first group consisted of applied temephos directly in the water. The second group consisted of applied in filter cloth. The third group consisted of applied in zip bagging and 30 containers as the control. Larval visual survey and Bioassay-test were employed every weeks. The result revealed that the period of preventing Aedes larvae of second group was more than others group and was significantly different (p<0.05). There was concordance between result from the field trial and bioassay-test.
