You could probably use an infrared camera and a heat gun. Heat the wall
and then look at it with the camera. The drywall that is against studs
will change temperature more slowly; heat up slower, cool down slower
thus allowing you to see where the studs are.


Have you actually tried it? I really hate it when people give advice that is
merely pulled out of their ass.


They can tell if you are using grow lamps to grow marijuana in your
basement by the infrared glow of your basement walls.

They usually go by existance of a utility bill that is five times higher
that normal.
