extracts of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) as a repellent (repellent) houseflies
(Musca domestica) with a spray method, and the concentration of how much of the
leaf extract of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is effective as a repellent
(repellent) flies home (Musca domestica) with a spray method. This research is
a quantitative research methods Experiments with real (True Experiment). This
research was conducted at the Laboratory of Environmental Health UIN Alauddin
Makassar, the sample in this study is the house fly as much as 180 tails were
divided into four cages each containing 15 flies to the treatment (0%, 10%, 15%
and 20%) and 3 times replication with observation time of 60 minutes. The
research results are to be obtained amount of 10% concentration of flies
hinggapan I repeat that 10 heads, 10 tails which replicates II, and III that
replicates nine tails. At a concentration of 15% which is 4 tails I repeat,
repetition II are two tails, and replications III is 2 tails. At a
concentration of 20% at I repeat that one tail, replicates II 0 and replicates
III, 1 tail. Based on the test results Freidman Asymp.Sig value <0.05 is
0.029 which Ha is received and stated that the leaf extract of clove (Syzygium
aroticum L.) is effective as a repellent against the house fly (Musca

the concentration of 15% ie 82.22% and a concentration of 20% ie 95.55%. The
best treatment in preventing hinggapan fly is at a concentration of 20% to
