The mosquito life cycle can be disrupted by eliminating stagnant water, treating it with larvicides like kerosene, and using insect repellents. Additionally, introducing natural predators such as fish can help reduce mosquito larvae and break their developmental stages.

To disrupt the mosquito life cycle, it is essential to target their breeding grounds. This can be done by eliminating stagnant water where mosquitoes lay eggs. Treating such water with larvicides like kerosene or using mosquito dunks can kill larvae. Regularly cleaning containers and using insect repellents on skin and clothing also help. Additionally, introducing natural predators such as fish into water bodies can consume mosquito larvae and further disrupt their development. These measures collectively help control and reduce mosquito populations effectively.
