Lemongrass and basil have been studied to contain several compounds that have the potential to control fruit fly attacks. This study aims to determine the effect of the ethanol extract of lemongrass pseudo stem (<em>Cymbopogon citrates</em>) and basil (<em>Ocimum sanctum</em>) </span><span>leaves </span><span lang="IN">on the catch of <em>Bactrocera</em> fruit flies and to determine the concentration of the extract that has the highest number of catches. The method used in sampling was factorial randomized block design (RBD). The ethanol extract of the pseudo-lemongrass</span><span>, the extract of </span><span lang="IN">basil leaves </span><span>or</span><span lang="IN"> the mixture </span><span>of both extract (1:1) that was given at </span><span lang="IN">concentrations of 15%, 30% and 45% was dropped on</span><span>to a piece of </span><span lang="IN">cotton and </span><span>for </span><span lang="IN">then </span><span>be put within </span><span lang="IN">a trap </span><span>before </span><span lang="IN">plac</span><span>ing </span><span lang="IN">on the tre</span><span>e</span><span lang="IN">. </span><span>The cathes obtained from each e</span><span lang="IN">xtract at each concentration </span><span>were </span><span lang="IN">observed </span><span>if they show </span><span lang="IN">a significant difference in the number of fruit fly.

The results showed that the </span><span>catch obtained from </span><span lang="IN">ethanol extract of lemongrass pseudo stem </span><span>or from </span><span lang="IN">basil lea</span><span>f ectract as well as  from their mixture </span><span lang="IN">had a significantly higher </span><span>number </span><span lang="IN">of <em>Bactrocera</em> fruit flies than without using these extracts. The difference in extract concentration did not cause a difference in the ability to attract fruit flies.
