Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in residential areas with high population density and suboptimal environmental sanitation. One effective preventive effort is Periodic Larvae Monitoring (PLM) as part of mosquito breeding site control. This community service program aimed to increase community awareness, knowledge, and participation in dengue prevention through the implementation of PLM in PMA RW 28 Jamblangan, Margomulyo, Seyegan, Sleman. The methods included coordination with local stakeholders, door-to-door larvae monitoring, calculation of the Larvae-Free Index (LFI), and health education on the 3M Plus strategy. The program involved larvae monitoring cadres, community leaders, and local residents. The results showed that out of 115 houses inspected, 83 houses (72.17%) were free of mosquito larvae, while 32 houses (27.83%) were positive for larvae. The obtained LFI was still below the national target of ≥95%, indicating a relatively high risk of dengue transmission in the area. Nevertheless, the program contributed to improved community awareness and active participation in environmental cleanliness and dengue prevention efforts. In conclusion, community-based Periodic Larvae Monitoring is an effective initial preventive strategy and should be implemented continuously to increase the Larvae-Free Index and reduce the risk of dengue transmission in residential environments.
