If you don't feel like messing with a full-sized black light, they make UV flashlights for pet urine detection / scorpion hunting that are powerful and directed to get that extra oomph when you charge something glow in the dark. 

Protip: those are also great for finding hornworm caterpillars in your garden.

Scorpions and Caterpillars? I get the finding bodily fluids thing, but how does it help detect arthropods? Bodily fluids in a different way or is it different for arthropods?

Never googled but scorpions glow in black light. Always good to check your yard for them with a black light if you live where they are.

Oh I see. I live in a relatively cold climate so I never really have to worry about scorpions (Which is probably why I didn’t know that, lol.)

polar scorpions are the most dangerous

I know I should, but I’ve never seen one in person, however knowing how I am near spiders… yeah, best to leave that to other people.
