<![CDATA[Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still a health problem in Indonesia, including in Bali. Dengue therapy has not been optimal so far, so that prevention efforts are an effective step in dealing with DHF cases. All of these community service activities were aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of community living in densely populated settlements in the prevention and control of DHF vectors. The activities carried out included counseling through the media posters regarding DHF and its prevention as well as distribution of mosquito repellent plants to be planted in the yards of each activity participant's house. The activity took place from June to July 2023 and was attended by 35 activity participants. From the analysis of the pretest-posttest scores, this activity succeeded in significantly increasing the knowledge of the activity participants. This activity is expected to be a real implementation of dengue prevention in densely populated residential areas. Abstrak Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) hingga saat ini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan di Indonesia, termasuk di Bali. Terapi dengue hingga saat ini belum optimal, sehingga upaya pencegahan menjadi salah satu langkah efektif dalam penanggulangan kasus DBD. Seluruh kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran komunitas Sadar Sehat yang tinggal di pemukiman padat penduduk dalam pencegahan dan pengendalian vektor penyakit DBD. Kegiatan yang diselenggarakan meliputi penyuluhan melalui media poster mengenai DBD dan pencegahannya serta pembagian tanaman pengusir nyamuk untuk ditanam di pekarangan rumah masing-masing peserta kegiatan. Kegiatan berlangsung dari bulan Juni hingga Juli 2023 dan diikuti oleh 35 peserta kegiatan. Dari analisis nilai pretest-posttest kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan peserta kegiatan secara signifikan. Kegiatan ini diharapkan mampu menjadi implementasi nyata dalam penanggulangan DBD di kawasan pemukiman padat penduduk.]]>
