You can buy an EPROM eraser which is a UV tube in a box with a timer.
 It does need to be a fairly specific tube.  Leaving an EPROM on a
windowsill won't work - I've just checked an EPROM that's been sitting
in the window with no label for four weeks and the data on it
verifies.  Not even a hint of erasure.

I bought a nice old Stag EPROM eraser for about 15 quid off eBay.
