We have not heard of anyone using a black-light for bedbug inspections. It would be our assumption that bedbugs simply do not fluoresce and using a blacklight to find them would not be a viable option.
Yes, the Scorpion UV Flashlight can detect: scorpions; rodent urine; human, pet and pest stains; counterfeit money; ID verification, mineral identification, machinery and freon leaks and more.
These are actual black light LED's with a clear lens on the Scorpion UV Flashlight.
No, the Scorpion UV flashlight is meant only for scorpion detection and also will work to detect rodent urine. Bed bugs do not show up fluorescent when using any type of light, unfortunately.
UV light is actually not measured in watts, it is measured in nanometers. The manufacturer says that Scorpion UV Flashlight is 390 nm, or 390 nanometers.
We have never heard of mattresses being inspected with a blacklight to see if Sterifab crystals are present and we are not sure if the Scorpion UV black-light flashlights will work for this purpose. Luckily the Scorpion UV Flashlight is pretty inexpensive and in this case it wouldn't hurt to try it.
We do not carry replacement bulbs for these flashlights. We apologize for any inconvenience.
