A mosquito has been in our bedroom for about a week, biting regularly at
night; when we are fast asleep, in the early hours. We have some immovable
cupboards etc, that are ideal for it to hide behind.

Is there any way to entice it out, so we can deal with it?



Olde fashioned flypaper's, do they still exist?...

Yes, they certainly do exit, but it's highly unlikely that mosquitos
would be attracted to fly paper. Fly paper attracts house flies and
gnats. The male mosquito feeds on plant sap, only the female seeks
blood. People having a mosquito problem inside their home probably
have standing water somewhere, in basements, eave gutters, even sink
drains. In today's modern homes many have several bathrooms, some
with drains that rarely get used yet contain standing water, that
guest bathroom toilet tank is excellent for mosquito breeding and
other creepy crawlies.
