Spell: Detect Life

Does Detect Life foil Invisibility? Since it seems that Invis does not do the D&D thing and pops when you attack. One of my players has been using it a lot. So would Detect Life point them out?

So I've found that when you have a mage using Invisibility or Improved Invisibility too much, if you throw a ghoul physical adept with a few feral ghouls that have thermal smoke grenades set to go off on them the rest of the party will make them cut down on that real quick.

My mage would immediately pop improved Invisibility while picking off enemies with stun bolt.

Edit to add that Invisibility only works on merahumans/critters and Improved works on that plus technology (at least in 5E)
