The high population of mosquitoes and the dominance of the use of chemical drugs in Wonoharjo Village encourage the need for natural solutions based on local potential. This activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of residents in utilizing lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) as a natural mosquito repellent. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR) with an educational approach based on local wisdom, through education, the practice of making Anti-Mosquito Lemongrass Juice (SASAYAM), and direct mentoring. The results showed an increase in understanding of up to 84% and 72% of participants expressed a commitment to remake products at home. In conclusion, this approach effectively encourages changes in citizens' knowledge, attitudes, and actions, and has the potential to be replicated in other regions with the support and adjustment of the local context.
