Nope. Under stress they form spores to be blown to other more
hospitable places for regrowth.

On UV lamps I once saw a section of them in the Dollar Store. They
never stocked them again. But these lamps are available in novelty
stores that sell psychedelic posters and paraphenalia. Perhaps UV
lamp bulbs are cheaper there than at a HVAC place.

Wrong kind of UV... wrong light band and temperature

Indeed - those are "black lights" and won't kill anything.
