This research is a quantitative research methods Experiments with real (True Experiment) This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Environmental Health UIN Alauddin Makassar, the sample in this study is the house fly as much as 180 tails were divided into four cages each containing 15 flies to the treatment (0% 10% 15% and 20% and 3 times replication with observation time of 60 minutes. The research results are to be obtained amount of 10% concentration of flies hinggapan I repeat that 10 heads, 10 tails which replicates II, and III that replicates nine tails. At a concentration of 15% which is 4 tails I repeat, repetition II are two tails, and replications III is 2 tails. At a concentration of 20% at I repeat that one tail, replicates II 0 and replicates III, 1 tail. Based on the test results Freidman Asymp.Sig value <0.05 is 0.029 which Ha is received and stated that the leaf extract of clove (Syzygium aroticum L. is effective as a repellent against the house fly (Musca domestica) The average thrust extract at a concentration of 10% ie 35.55% the concentration of 15% ie 82.22% and a concentration of 20% ie 95.55% The best treatment in preventing hinggapan fly is at a concentration of 20% to 95.55% thrust.
