House fly is one of diseases vector that can bring some pathogens bacteria to human such as typoid, cholera, dysentery, and wormy, so it is necessary to control its efforts with citrus leaves (Citrus aurantifolia) vegetable leaf insecticide into aromatic candle. This study aims to determine the difference of various concentration of citrus leaves extract (Citrus aurantifolia) into aromatic candle to the number of house flies (Musca domestica) rejected, with concentrations of 0,4%, 0,6%, 0,8%, and control. This research type is experiment, samples were musca domestica flies as much as 525 flies, with 6 replications and 3 treatments, The sampling technique used is random sampling, and data collection techniques with calculated the percentage of the number of flies rejected and measured the temperature and humidity of the room, the observed duration of 60 minutes observed every minute, this study used Kruskal-Wallis and T Test analysis. The percentage of houseflies rejected at concentration 0.4% is 81.98%, at a concentration 0.6% is 86.43%, and at a concentration 0.8 % is 92.82%. Kruskal-Wallis statistical test result p ≤ α (0,045 ≤ 0,05), then there is a difference of citrus leaves extract concentration (Citrus aurantifolia) into aromatic candle to number of house flies (Musca domestica) rejected, it is recommended that community use the citrus leaves (Citrus aurantifolia) into aromatic candle to deny the house flies, especially in street food.
