You’re finally lying down, ready to drift off to sleep… when a faint buzzing ruins the moment.

That pesky mosquito again, circling endlessly but never showing itself! You’ve tried everything—keeping the lights on, pulling the blanket up to your nose—but nothing works. What if the solution was actually right in the palm of your hand?

A simple trick… using your phone!

Yes, you read that right. No need to jump out of bed or turn into a mosquito-fighting ninja. All you need is your smartphone. The idea? Lure the mosquito with light and the carbon dioxide you exhale. Simple as that.

Here’s how to do it:

• Lie comfortably on your back in bed. Breathe deeply.

• Turn your phone’s brightness all the way up.

• Place it on your chest with the screen facing upward.

• If your sheets are light-colored, bend your knees. This creates a contrasting background that makes it easier to spot the mosquito.

• Blow gently toward the phone. The carbon dioxide will naturally attract the insect.
