almost similar to dengue fever. In the recent times a new case is the virus outbreak of Zika. Many efforts have been 
made to suppress the density of the vector populations with the control of Aedes sp mosquitoes. One of them is by 
using vegetable larvicides namely garlic solution (Allium sativum). Methods: This research is a pseudo experiment 
with posttest design with a control group. The aim of this research study is to know the effectiveness of garlic solution 
in killing the larva Aedes sp. This research sample is 484 tails that are bred by the researchers themselves. The concentrations used in this study were 0%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% with 5 repetitions. The free variable in this study 
is the concentration of garlic solution and the bound variable is the larva Aedes sp. Results: The results of the study 
using one-way ANOVA test (p = 0.001) indicate that there are differences in the larvae deaths between each concentration. Observation by using the Abbot formula at a concentration of 60% it is found to be susceptible in killing 
of Aedes sp larvae due to the death of larvae at 100%. Conclusion: This means there is a direct relation between the 
increasing concentration of garlic solution and the number of dead larvae of Aedes sp. So, garlic can be one of the 
alternatives in vector control that is safe for the environment.
