ESCO LITE Black Light for Pet Urine Detection UV Flashlight 395nm Pet Urine Detector Light for Cat Pee and Dog Stains Carpets Floors

We have a lot of scorpions here and they are tough. Barrier sprays do almost nothing against them, and I've tried them all. Even hitting them square-on with powerful products often doesn't kill them, at least not for a while. In fact, these poisons usually just kill the spiders and gekkos, and the scorpions come back stronger with no natural predators around. Whenever possible I like to let living things live, but nothing has stopped these creatures from coming into my home to seek refuge from the Texas heat. I'm tired of my kids getting stung trying to get dressed, my dogs getting stung trying to protect us, and guests being scared half out of their wits on a regular basis. A few weeks ago my son's young friend had a scorpion fall on his back in the middle of the night. A week before that my dog was stung and went into respiratory distress. Evidently he's become allergic. Now, after 8 years, this is really war. And this flashlight is my high-tech weaponry. This flashlight makes scorpions light up bright green in the night. In combo with some ultra-fashionable orange uv/blue-blocking glasses, they'll light up in the daytime as well, though not as brightly. Armed with the killing tool of my choice, I fire this baby up and sweep the indoors; looking in closets, under sofas, behind everything. I've found a good number in the house this way. But the real "fun" is outdoors. The first night this light helped me find and kill at least 50! The flashlight has strong uv output, and very little visible light so it works very well for this purpose. I can sweep an area quickly, and the scorpions light up very well. I can be quite thorough without spending the whole night. Using this light and the information gained over multiple nights, I have been able to identify where the beasts tend to be concentrated, and, with patience, where they hide. Whenever possible I kill the scorpions manually, my favorite tool being a BBQ spatula, or if they are high up or in a tight spot I use a petroleum-based spray to kill them (eventually). With the spray I also target their hiding spots, like weep holes, the expansion joints of the driveway, the crack in the back step, etc.. I don't spray everything because I don't want to kill the geckos that hunt them. In this manner I have made a huge impact on their population, and I'm finding fewer and fewer each night. Before the war began I was seeing an average of four a day indoors. It's been a few days now since I've seen one in the house. Eventually I foresee reducing the hunts to once every two weeks during their season, and experiencing significant relief from this plague we've been enduring for so long. I'm really happy with my purchase, and the results I've already seen. The flashlight is well made, it feels heavy and solid, and puts out a lot of uv. The battery compartment is a little different. Be very careful to install the batteries correctly, they go in in odd directions, so mind the polarity markings. As far as battery life is concerned, I'm pleased there too. We haven't had to change them yet, and this thing has seen many hours of use since it arrived. Especially once I figured out I could use it to find previously unknown doggie indiscretions and teach my son about the importance of good aim. I'm really happy I bought this, and happy too that I found a good one, because the reviews of some other brands weren't that encouraging. Hope this helps.

I wasn’t expecting much from this urine detector, but I was pleasantly surprised. It works extremely well! It easily revealed old, dried urine stains on both my cream and brown colored carpeting, as well as my limestone floors. The instructions recommend using it in a dark room, but I found it worked very well even during the day with natural sunlight coming through my windows. The stains it detected were all dry dog urine that was over 4 months old. My dog has been wearing belly bands, so I hadn’t realized there were still old accidents I had missed. I even did the sniff test, and they definitely had been urine stains. Cleaned the areas with carpet cleaner and sprayed an enzymatic. 3 AA batteries- not included. I highly recommend this product.

Ordered and quickly received the light and in good condition. I put the 3 AA batteries in and switched it on. Something must’ve been wrong with it because it wasn’t working properly. I think they got stuff on the lens or something because everywhere I pointed it I was seeing spots on everything. It’s funny how they got the dumb light to show spots that seem to be no higher than 18” or so. I kept looking for the spots on the lens but I couldn’t see anything. Hmmm…. How do they get it to do that? Incredible! So I assume the light is defective in some way. I know it can’t be the 8 kitties that are running around the house. They are good little angels and never do anything wrong so it can’t be them. All kidding aside, the light works all too well and the result is more shocking than I had expected. I’m not a happy camper with the results but not at the light. It definitely makes a statement about piss poor pussycats. So I suggest that after purchasing this light you may want to consider buying a steam cleaner to douche your home! May I suggest a “Neat” little steamer like the one we bought from Duprey via Amazon and we love to use, but now it’s going to get some more serious usage today and for the next few days. Yuck! This light is going to show up a whole new world of things when you switch it on. BEWARE….. I WARN YOU! You can never un-see what the light reveals. In closing, I will have to say that this light far exceeded my expectations of how bright it is and the range of the light. For the price I don’t think I could have found a more perfect lighting tool for revealing the unimaginable??

great flashlight it could be brighter 4 stars because of that

The reason I bought this UV flashlight is because my Dermatologist showed me a skin problem with a UV flashlight and I decided to buy one to monitor it myself. I have owned one for years to find leaks in automotive a/c. I didn’t know the other uses for this tool. This tool is much better than my old one, brighter and cordless. Great tool for a great price.

I never knew something so great existed. We just bought a house and I knew there was an odor in this light helped me identify where the previous owners pets had left a mess. It is accurate and it is super helpful. It’s also a great value.

I've owned this for sometime now. It works, but it is old technology. It uses 51 ( or 100 ) low output UV LEDs and three AAA cells. Modern UV lights use a single high output UV LED to put a much brighter and adjustable beam .. ( some even have dual wavelength capabilities ) and use a rechargeable battery.

I live in Arizona, and we have scorpions in our backyards - sometimes LOTS of them if you don't do something to keep them in check. Periodic broadcast-type bug spraying (like the kind from exterminators) is minimally effective at keeping scorpion populations down once they hit critical mass --- the best method to put a dent in their population is to hunt them at night when they are out and to spray them directly with a strong solution to eradicate them. Enter these UV flashlights - they are a staple for anyone living in Arizona who is serious about battling scorpions. I started using these a few years back when I noticed my yard was being overrun. I live in the inner city, and for the first 10-15 years I lived here they were not a problem. But things changed a few years back and now I have to battle them routinely and have finally got ahead of the curve in eliminating them. For two seasons, I tried the 100 LED flashlights on the market thinking that more power was better. Well, they did OK, but with the 3 100 LED flashlights I bought I experienced the same issues. First, they run hot.... REAL hot. Then, they need six AA batteries to run, which is a substantial number (and why they run hot). I use rechargeable Eneloops, I would not even consider Alkaline battery in these 100 LED lights - they burn them up so quickly you would spend a FORTUNE on batteries if you had to use Alkaline. Which leads to the biggest problem with the 100 LED lights - they burn up battery life quickly, and real only stay at their brightest for 15-20 min before becoming noticeably dimmer. I experienced this on three different brands of 100 LED lights - note however all three lights looked the same and probably made in the same Chinese factory! (also DON'T overspend on the UV Beast model - it is exactly the same light as the others at half the price, don't believe the marketing hype the seller claims). The biggest issue with the 100LED light models - they were ruining my Eneloop batteries. It must be because they run so hot, or maybe they are working too hard and the design of six batteries and 100 LEDs needs better engineering. One final point about the 100 LED models - they are HEAVY! Next, I bought this 51 LED model. First off, it only takes 3 AA batteries to work - HALF of what the 100 LED models need. Then, it runs cooler. MUCH cooler. Finally, it stays consistently bright for much longer - sure it is not as bright as the 100LED model on fresh batteries - but after 30 min the 51 LED is still going strong where the 100 LED is hot and has dimmed considerably. Using only three batteries vs six batteries for 100 LED models seems to be the sweet spot for keeping the light cool - and NO MORE ruining my Eneloops. Plus, the 51 LED model is SO much lighter and easier to carry for extended scorpion hunting sessions. ( I have a large yard, and I extend the search to the alley and other breeding spots). For those in the market for an LED light that has a little "oomph", and if you are looking at the 100 LED and 51 LED models and wondering what to get and how much you really need, then I hope my experience helps you. Sometimes less is more, and bigger is not always better and from my experience with UV flashlights this became glaringly true!! Try the both for yourself and see what you think. Thanks for reading.

Good product, need fresh batteries for best results

good flash light range. excellent aluminium body! powerful to use even in daylight price should be lower.

This DOES work. It is definitely a real UV light. I bought it to look for old cat pee spots. It works. Use it at night. Some pee spots may need you to get closer with the light. Because of urine content. But I've tested it. It works. For being a "fun" black light. It's pretty strong. Don't look at it. I recommend this. It works.
