Abstract

Background: The problem of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in the Olak Kemang Public Health Center area demands innovative prevention methods. This community service project aims to disseminate knowledge about the use of duku fruit peel waste as a botanical insecticide. Duku skin contains active compounds such as Saponin, Flavonoid, and Terpenoid, which have been proven effective as mosquito repellents and killers. Insecticidal candles were identified as a practical and easily accessible medium for the public. Method: This activity focuses on Interactive Counseling conducted at the Olak Kemang Health Center, targeting health staff and cadres. The extension methods used are: a. Delivery of Scientific and Practical Materials: Education on the dangers of dengue fever and the potential of duku peel, b. Screening of Educational Videos: Showing a demonstration of the steps for making duku peel insecticide candles to facilitate visual understanding and transfer of practical skills. The evaluation was conducted to measure the participants' level of understanding and response to this innovation. Results: The extension activity was successful with high enthusiasm from the participants. Through video media, participants understand the scientific basis of duku skin and simple steps to make their own candles at home. Duku peel insecticide candles were introduced as an affordable and environmentally friendly dengue prevention solution, transforming local waste into a valuable product for community health. Conclusion: This program successfully transferred knowledge about the potential of duku skin through effective video-based extension methods. The utilization of this waste serves as an inspiration for the community at the Olak Kemang Health Center to independently and sustainably prevent dengue fever.
