The high morbidity and mortality rates due to DHF indicate that handling this disease is important and needs to be done seriously. From the DHF problem, community participation is needed in efforts to eradicate DHF. Based on research results, the high number of DHF is due to the large number of water containers (containers), such as drums, buckets, bathtubs containing water which become nests for Aedes aegypti larvae and also people rarely carry out 3M, which causes the high number of DHF. The larva-free figures, house index and container index need to be analyzed to see the relationship with dengue fever incidents.
