Vector-borne diseases are a diversified group of diseases, caused by various pathogens transmitted by rats and arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. Previous research shows that cases of infectious diseases in Islamic boarding schools/orphanages are found, including dengue, scabies and pediculosis. Some Islamic boarding schools have poor environmental conditions, including toilets, damp and closed dormitories, poor ventilation and lighting, and poor environmental sanitation. Student behavior towards cleanliness and maintaining health is considered to be lacking. Through this service, it is hoped that residents at LKSA/Panti Asuhan Darul Tazkiyah can maintain personal cleanliness and residence so as to reduce the population of vectors and disease-carrying animals in the settlement. The activity was carried out through the method of socialization and two-way discussion. Scouts were given at the beginning of the activity to measure the level of knowledge of participants about vectors and disease-carrying animals. The results of the questionnaire showed that 94% of the participants did not have knowledge about the bioecology of vectors and disease-carrying animals. After the socialization and discussion stage, it can be concluded that participants understand the bioecology of each type of vector (flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes) and disease-carrying animals (rats).
