Abstract

This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of impregnated shirt with Bifenthrin 2% EC to prevent mosquito biting in the rubber plantation. The three kinds of shirts included shirt worn on daily basis, shirt with dry latex, and shirt with impregnated Bifenthrin 2% EC. These shirt were worn by 6 people and rotate to wear these shirts one by one during 07.00-08.30 am. Mosquitoes will be collected for 4 days during the research period. The result is the mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) landing-biting people who wore all three kinds of shirts. The mosquito landing-biting rates of wearing shirt without Bifenthrin 2% EC, shirt with dry latex, and shirt with dry latex and impregnated Bifenthrin 2% EC were 18, 8.89, and 2 mosquitoes/person/hour, respectively which had statistical significant difference. (p-value<0.05).
