Highlighted Reviews

"Bought this light, hoping it worked so I can find where this cat was peeing at. It arrived, followed the directions on the package and BOOM pee spots found. If you have a pet peeing, and you don't know where it is. I highly recommend this product to others."

— Lindsey

"I forgot it was chemicals and it melted into the plastic. Had dishwasher unsafe stuff."
