How Can We Control Mosquito Habitats to Prevent Disease?

Controlling mosquito habitats is a crucial part of integrated vector management (IVM):
- Source Reduction: Eliminating standing water in containers, tires, and other potential breeding sites.
- Biological Control: Introducing natural predators, such as fish and bacteria, to reduce mosquito larvae.
- Chemical Control: Applying larvicides and insecticides in breeding habitats to kill mosquito larvae and adults.
- Environmental Management: Modifying landscapes to reduce standing water and improve drainage.
