Is your floor carpet or hard? Makes a diff.
Have it dispense reflective stickers on the floor every so far. Then
when you're done playing just peel them up. You could even go around and
peel them up to emulate the evaporation of the pheremone.
If the floor is hard, then use something that is optically transparent but
opaque either in IR or UV (it would help if it was water soluble so you
could mop it up when done).
