UV flashlight for scorpions

I’m sure no mater what UV torch you have, you will found them with your UV torch either 395 or 365nm although the scorpions fluorescein better with the 365nm.

I found Boma fires ( heat ) in the evenings attract them as well , safer to wear shoes at night in scorpion areas.

I found this UV torch which is only a few bucks more from Torchsa much better https://torchsa.com/ultraviolet-uv-flashlight/334-ultraviolet-uv-flashlight-uv-28-led-flashlight.html?search_query=UV&results=1 than the Zartek from etc Zartek 9 LED UV Scorpion Flashlight | 1000523 | Outdoor Warehouse

I have Convoy LG and Nichia UV torches (not much difference between them in my opinion ) , as said they are in a different league for a little bit more.

As mentioned try to use polycarbonate safety goggles (they are inexpensive) for safety, I found the yellow one’s best for me, I tend to get headaches very quickly not wearing the safety glasses

Hope you enjoy your visit in South Africa, unfortunately crime is more of a danger than scorpions, just be aware .
