🦟 The Trick to Spotting (and Removing) a Mosquito Hiding in the Bedroom

We’ve all been there — you’re just about to drift off to sleep, and then… BZZZZZ — that high-pitched whine in your ear. A mosquito is in the room. Suddenly, you’re wide awake, blanket over your head, phone flashlight in hand, ready for war.

The problem? These tiny bloodsuckers are masters of stealth. They hide in dark corners, behind curtains, or sneakily perch on the wall, silent until they strike.

But don’t worry — here’s a simple trick to spot (and remove) a mosquito hiding in your bedroom — and it works surprisingly well.

🕵️‍♂️ The Trick: Trap It with Light and Contrast

What You’ll Need:

• A dark room
• A bright flashlight (your phone works fine)
• A light-colored wall or sheet for contrast

✅ Step-by-Step: How to Spot the Mosquito

1. Turn off all the lights and let the room go completely dark. Wait for about 30 seconds so your eyes adjust.
2. Turn on your flashlight and slowly scan the room, especially:
   • Corners of the ceiling
   • Behind curtains or blinds
   • On the wall behind your bed
   • Near light fixtures or mirrors
3. Use contrast to your advantage:
   • Mosquitoes show up best against a white or light background.
   • If your walls are dark, hang a white sheet or towel temporarily to help spot them.
4. Look for movement, not just shape.
