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?

A bug-zapper - one of those purple-fluorescent light, preferably
with a inwards-sucking fan units (or one with a low voltage
high-amp death mesh) will get it sooner or later. If you have a
lot of mosquitoes - even just once in a while - I'd say it's a
VERY worthwhile investment.

They MAY come with LED lights now, I haven't looked.

Fly paper works, but it tends to get in your hair as well.

I wouldn't use poisonous sprays in my room just to avoid a few
mosquito bites.

I have learned to catch mosquitoes by hand when I am reading in
bed, with just my one light on. They come, buzz around, and I
get them. 8/10 times on the first try. It's a pleasure to
squeeze the *******s into a little black pile of dirt. They
STAIN, though, watch out.
