IR pass filters

Hello,

I have a problem in my house with rodents (I think they're mice). I was
hoping that I would be able to see exactly what is behind the wall with an
IR pass filter either on my digital camera or phone camera. Will this work?
If not, suggestions?

Thanks.

 

I have some x ray spex that I bought from an ad in the back of a Superman
magazine in the 60's. They didn't work either, couldn't see a thing.

 

no wont work

 

To form an image from 'infra-red' radiation, you will need a sensor that
is sensitive in that part of the spectrum. Most are not - because it
would interfere with normal use.

There are special 'infra-red' films for use with conventional cameras.
Some lenses have an 'infra-red focusing index' so that you can manually
compensate for the difference between visible and infra-red focussing.
Exposure would have to start with guesswork.

I suppose you could try one of the night-vision gadgets that works on
'passive' infra-red - ie doesn't need an infra-red lamp. Whether that
would give you any information about life-forms in your cavities, I don't
know. It might tell you where you could put more heat insulation, or
where the wiring is getting hot, though.

 

Get a 5 gal bucket 1/4 full of water, stretch a string with a tin can
threaded on it across the handle mounts. Smear a little peanut butter on
the can. Lean a stick against the bucket. The mice go up the stick, get on
the can to eat the peanut butter, roll into the water and die. don't tell
PETA!!! Got 26 in one night in a Canadian fish camp.

 

Go to the hardware store and buy a trap. bait it with peanut butter.
And no the IR won't work.
