Compartmental models based on the system of differential equations are very useful to study the dynamics of infectious diseases transmitted to humans by a vector. In this study, we considered the Aedes aegypti vector that transmits Yellow Fever, Dengue, Chikungunya and Zika virus diseases. Due to the high resistance and impossibility of eradication of Aedes aegypti, effective ways to control mosquitoes should be considered. Mechanical control to remove breeding grounds from mosquitoes was considered in the mathematical model. The mechanical control was modeled on two parameters concerning efforts from the population to remove the mosquito breeding sites, as well as government investments. The main aim was to investigate numerically the effects of these parameters on the population dynamics of mosquitoes. To obtain the numerical solution, the model was discretized using the Finite Difference method. Computational simulations were performed considering different scenarios for the mechanical control of mosquitoes. The numerical results are presented and show the existence of a set of parameters effective in controlling the population of the Dengue mosquito
