Background : Aedes aegypti mosquito which is the main cause of dengue fever cases until now it has become a major problem for public health, as well as causing social impacts, especially the number of sufferers which from year to year continues to increase and is increasingly widespread in both developed and developing countries. One method of controlling the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever is the use of attractants in controlling the population of the aedes aegypti mosquito.

Aim: Study literature review was conducted to determine the effectiveness of attractants in controlling the aedes aegypti. Methods: The literature search method is carried out using accredited national journals and reputable international journals as well as Scopus indexed journals. The data base used is from Google Scholar, PubMed/NCBI, Up-to-date, Springer, Wiley On Library, Scient Direct, MedRxiv, DOAJ, MDPI and JAMA Network.

Result: There were 1654 journals which were then filtered based on related titles and 520 journal titles were found. Based on the research variables, there were 377 journals that were excluded because there were no appropriate variables related to the effectiveness of attractants in controlling the Aedes aegypti , so that there were 143 journals remaining. Based on the research method used, 50 journals did not use the Cross sectional study, cohort, experimental study, quasi-experimental, and field research methods so that the remaining 93 journals were then re-filtered based on access and journal index to obtain as many as 13 journals.

Conclusion: The results of a review of the analyzed journals found that the use of attractants was very effective in controlling the Aedes aegypti mosquito population.
