Dengue Haemorhagic Fever (DHF) is one of several infectious diseases that are a health problem in the world, especially developing countries.For that, need efforts to protect themselves from the bite of the Aedesaegypti mosquito vector. One of them is by using a natural repellent which is fragrant lemongrass (CymbopogonWinterianusJowitt).This study aims to analyze the effect of fragrant lemongrass by using citronella extract to protect from the bite of Aedesaegypti mosquitoes. This study was experimental with independent variables of citronella extract concentration (concentrations of 75%, 60%, 45%, 30%, 15%) and the dependent variable was the mosquito bite protection. The design of this study was posttest only control group design statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that the most effective concentration of citronella extract was 75% concentration. This can be seen from the number of mosquitoes perched on the hands that have been smeared with fragrant lemongrass extract (CymbopogonwinterianusJowitt) at a concentration of 75% with a total of 8 tails at the 5th hour with 92.26% protection. The results of the study concluded that fragrant lemongrass extract (CymbopogonwinterianusJowitt) was effective to protection of Aedesaegypti mosquito bites. The results of this study are expected to be socialized and developed so that it can be used by the community so that it can reduce the incidence of DHF.
