Default This mosquito is good at hiding

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?

It's probably bed bugs.
the female mosquito only bites the once.

Sleeping without clothes should entice it. Works for me.

Have you seen it? There may be something else biting you; fleas or bed bugs
are likely culprits.

Have you tried waving a wad of money? Offering it sexual favours in your
most 'come hither' voice?

Big stinky farts are a mosquito's greatest enemy. Eat plenty of beans and
chicken for supper and fart in the wee hours of the morning and i guarantee no
mosquito will ever come back.

They love cheese. Just pop a bit of cheese on a sprung trap and it'll come
out during the night and get its little neck broken. Oh hang on - that's
mousies not mozzies.

we get just the one or possibly two bites between us, per night. The are
very itchy and swell into a red blob. The remain itchy for two or three
days. That seems just like a mosquito bite to me. Would fleas or bed bugs
not tend to bite with a lot more smaller bites?

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.

IME flea bites are quite small and itch and last for a few days, mosquito
bites are a larger red lump and itch and last for a couple of days.
Thankfully I have no experience of bed bugs (despite travelling to some
strange places in this world).
Get one of those electronic mosquito killers you put the tablets in (the
sort you take abroad) and see if that stops the problem.
