Overview of Fly Density at Mojorejo Sukoharjo Landfill 2023
📄 Abstract
Introduction: The final waste processing site is a breeding location for flies, and the density of flies in an area usually indicates poor sanitation. Fly density numbers were measured using a fly grill to determine the number of fly densities in the Mojorejo Landfill as a basis for analyzing preventive measures. Method: This research is a quantitative-descriptive-research. The population was all flies in the active and passive zones in the landfill. Samples were taken using accidental sampling techniques and carried out in two different areas in the Mojorejo Landfill (passive zone and active zone) which could be reached by researchers, namely active zone A cell A1 and passive zone B block B2, then the samples in this study were flies counted from all the flies that landed on the fly grill. Results: Flies in the Mojerejo landfill were 14.6 in the passive zone and 26.6 in the active zone. Based on the assessment standards for measuring the density of flies with several 6-20 individuals, it is stated as high/Dense and >21 very high, with a proportion in the passive zone of 35% and the active zone of 65%. Hence, the density of flies in landfills is a concern for fly control measures. Conclusion: Control efforts need to be made to reduce fly density levels by improving hygiene, environmental sanitation, and controlling a combination of physical control in the form of landfilling, biological control in the form of natural predators such as bees, and chemical control such as spraying insecticide.
