Wasp Spray

I received an email yesterday talking about the benefits of wasp spray against an attacker, mice, rodents, etc. Apparently, its long spray enables you to protect yourself and possibly get away from the perp. Snopes verified that the info was true, however not certain about its effects, more or less against a human. Surprisingly, it also said that it is "against federal law to use...for any other purpose than which it is labeled...." That is another discussion :roll: Here is the big news, my friend used it against a mouse today, and killed it!! She thinks it may have drowned :D , but it def worked!
Thought I pass this along. My favorite insecticide is now a weapon of possible destruction! :clappurple: :clappurple:

I heard that about wasp spray too (being better than pepper spray). Thought it was great to know!
very interesting! :cow:
Wasp spray is a HUGE can to carry for personal protection though!
Smith & Wesson makes a real good deterent too. :wink:
There's always bear mace. That's fun to carry, and a huge can, too!

(Just kidding by the way, but it does remind me of a story from when I was first teaching. Our whole school made an annual hike up the local hill...Mt. Baldy. We'd bring lunches and have a picnic. We walked single file, two hundred kids in a row on the path. Our school owned two cans of bear mace for the occasion. The first staff member in line carried one, and the staff member at the end carried the other. Imagine the length of a two hundred kid line...there was no doubt in my mind that those in the middle were bear treats...and interestingly it was always the grade eights who got that honour. They claimed it was because they were the oldest, but I personally think it had more to do with having the most attitude...Anyway, turned out the kids made so much noise that no respectable bear would have anything to do with them anyway, but I always laughed at that...one can on each end theory. My last year there I was given the supreme honour...I got to be at the end and carry the spray.)

Sorry to digress from the original topic. I'm a fan of wasp spray myself, too. That stuff comes out in a mighty powerful stream, and I could see it blinding an attacker, or serial killer, or rampaging axe murderer (this last one is my own personal fear).
Hmmmm...I dunno about human attackers, but you know what they say about bear spray..." How do you tell if poop is bear scat?" (answer) "If it smells like pepper spray, and is studded with bells!" (people in bear country wear bells to "alert" bears to their presence...my dogs have bells on their collars for this reason) :roll:

This also kinda sounds like a lawsuit or two waiting to happen! 8O :wink:
Q: What do bears call the bear alert/warning bells bikers wear?
A: Dinner Bells.

I just bought two cans of wasp spray, but I don't want to use them to kill the wasps around my motorhome. The motorhome has Fiberglas sides and a rubber roof and the wasp spray is probably petroleum based.

I'm trying to figure out how to get a nice dawn foam spray like firefighters use for home use. Anybody know?
