A mosquito in the bedroom can quickly ruin the night. Fortunately, there's a simple trick to spot it and get rid of it quickly using an object you already have nearby.

You're finally ready for bed, light off, head on the pillow… and suddenly that familiar sound appears: the buzzing of a mosquito somewhere in the room. You can't see it, you can't sleep, and as soon as you turn on the light, it disappears. Good news: there's a very simple trick to spot it and get rid of it quickly, using an object you already have nearby.

The phone trick to attract mosquitoes

It may seem surprising, but your mobile phone can help you find the mosquito hiding in your room. Mosquitoes are attracted to light, heat, and the carbon dioxide we exhale.

The principle is simple:

  1. Lie down in your bed.
  2. Turn your phone's brightness up to maximum.
  3. Place the phone on your chest, screen facing up.
  4. Breathe normally or blow gently towards the phone.
  5. Within minutes, the mosquito will be attracted to the light and your breath. It will often land near the phone or fly around it. At that point, you can easily spot it and get rid of it.

It's a simple, product-free and effective method when you can't find the mosquito in the room.
