Filariasis is an infectious disease in the form of enlarged feet (elephantiasis), enlarged hands, breasts and genitals in women and men which is transmitted by Culex sp mosquitoes caused by filarial worm infection. Culex sp mosquitoes can be controlled biologically and chemically, Biological larvicides are an alternative insecticide because larvicides with natural compounds tend to be safer. Chicken dung flower leaves (Tagetes erecta) and lemongrass stalks (Cymbopogon citratus) are one of the plants that contain flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils that can be used as larvicides. This study examines how the effectiveness test of the combination of chicken dung flower leaf extract (Tagetes erecta) and lemongrass stalks (Cymbopogon citratus) as a larvicide for Culex sp mosquitoes. The method used is an experimental method to determine the effects of the treatment given to the inhibitory power of the effectiveness test of the combination of chicken dung flower leaf extract (Tagetes erecta) and lemongrass stalks (Cymbopogon citratus) as a larvicide for Culex sp mosquitoes. The study was conducted at the Microbiology Laboratory of the Aceh Ministry of Health Polytechnic. The results showed that after 24 hours of contact, a concentration of 1.0% gave the highest percentage of larval mortality, which was 81.3%. The conclusion of this study is that the combination of extracts of the two plants is effective as a larvicide to control Culex sp mosquitoes
