Introduction:  Mosquito traps can be equipped with attractants as a lure of the presence of insects.

Objective: This study aims to obtain the type of attractant that can catch mosquitoes with the highest number of the mosquito being trapped.

Methods: This type of research is purely experimental design with a control group. The Mann Whitney test was used to find out the average effectiveness of fermented sugar and shrimp immersion water when used as attractants.

Result: The results of the study indicated the significant difference in the number of Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes   attracted by the fermentation of sugar and shrimp immersion water.

Conclusion: Mosquito traps with shrimp immersion attractants can be socialized to the community as a better vector control than sugar fermentation because it is simple, safe and environmentally friendly.

Keywords: mosquito trap, fermentation of sugar, shrimp immersion water.
