You could probably use an infrared camera and a heat gun. Heat the wall

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.

Cite?

Here's one with video

Thanks. Next question would be how the **** it relates to finding
studs.

Does anybody, anywhere, use IR for studfinding?

Well firefighters use it to find hot spots... I was thinking of this when the
idjit suggested it. Replace a heck of a lot of drywall for the bux they cost.
But I like your next comment the best.

Using a heatgun is too slow anyway. A flame thrower is the way to go.


Don't know what part of the world you're in, but I see marijuana busts
using infrared [both indoors and out because the plants themselves
have a unique 'signature'] on the news a couple times a month.


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

That's just *so* 1900's.g
