Default This mosquito is good at hiding

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

Try one of those bug bombs that they sell. Some just need water added and
then you set them down and vacate the premises for the required time
(usually stated on the package). This will also take care of many other
pests also.

Interesting, as 'buffalo gnats' AKA blackfly (simuliidae), pack a much worse
bite than mosquitos and are every bit as sneaky. Not safe to go into garden
at dusk in the summer at all.

sod all blackfly this year (aphids)

Most insects decimated by winter I think. And wrens too :-(
