Mosquitoes in your bedroom? Don't worry, they tend to hide in specific places. During the day, these pesky insects seek dark, sheltered spots.
Common Hiding Spots
- Closets: The dark, enclosed space of a closet provides ideal shelter.
- Behind Curtains: The folds and shadows created by curtains offer excellent camouflage.
- Under Furniture: The space under beds, dressers, and other furniture is often undisturbed and dark.
- Dark-colored surfaces: Mosquitoes are drawn to darker surfaces more than lighter ones. So, check dark fabrics and furniture!
Other Potential Hiding Places
- Under indoor plant leaves
- Window blinds
- Gaps between or behind furniture
The references show that mosquitoes prefer to land on dark surfaces rather than light ones. They also tend to hide in shadowy places. Regular cleaning, reducing clutter (which reduces hiding spots), and using mosquito nets are effective ways to minimize their presence.
