Abstract. A deterministic differential equation model for the population dynamics of the mosquito vector is derived and studied. The life cycle of mosquito involves four stages Egg, Larva, Pupa & Adult. The mosquito population is divided into 3 compartments; larvae (L), indoor population (I) and outdoor population (O). The effect of pesticide applied to control the vector, is incorporated in the model with both periodic application and constant application. Taking mean effectiveness $\beta_0$ of pesticide as constant rate of pesticide control, the dynamical behaviour is studied. The system is bounded. Conditions for the existence and stability of a non-zero steady-state vector population density are derived. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the analytical result.
