Bright Side would like to clear up some myths about “singing” mosquitoes and help you avoid them.
They’re attracted to ear wax.


The sound is made by their wings.


Even though it sounds like an annoying song, mosquitoes aren’t actually singing in your ears. The sound is made by the rapid fluttering of their wings, which is as fast as 250 motions per second. It has also been found that mosquitoes communicate with each other by making sounds and can even make a “mating duet.”
Your body heat draws them in.
Here’s how you can ensure a peaceful sleep.
- Wear light-colored clothes to sleep since mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors.
- Take a bath before sleeping to keep off sweat.
- Avoid drinking beer.
- Sleep under a fast-moving fan.
- Put plants like lavender, rosemary, and catnip in your room. They’re natural mosquito repellents.
Have you ever experienced mosquitoes buzzing in your ears at night? How do you deal with it?
