Abstract

Vector control in hospitals is a crucial aspect in maintaining sanitation and preventing the risk of disease transmission. This study aims to compare the density of fly and rat vectors in several critical zones at Dr. Iskak Tulungagung Regional General Hospital, namely the Nutrition Installation, Water Treatment Plan (WTP), domestic waste container area, and canteen. This study used a descriptive method with a quantitative approach and utilized secondary data obtained from vector control reports. Data were analyzed for the period July–October for rat vectors and July–November for fly vectors. The results showed that the highest rat activity occurred in the Nutrition Installation and WTP, with trap success rates reaching 25–37.5% in certain months. Meanwhile, the highest fly density was found in the waste disposal area (TPS), with some months falling into the moderate category. The canteen and dishwashing areas had relatively low to moderate fly densities. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening vector control programs through regular monitoring and improved sanitation to reduce the risk of infestation in critical zones of the hospital.
