sodpoodle :" Good to know, huh? It will also kill a wasp!!!
And best of all, immobilize a human!"

True that !
I just wish it came in smaller, more convenient sized cans, rather than an 8 inch high can.
Also, as with pepper spray, if the 'perp' is wearing glasses, aim for the forehead,
as it will drip down thus affecting the perp's vision.

That reminds me that I need to get a new can of Bengal Wasp Spray. I used to hate trying to get rid of wasps until someone recommended Bengal to me.

Using Wasp Spray or any type of insecticide or pesticide “in a manner that is inconsistent with its labeling” is a violation of Federal Law. - just saying

Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake? And a mouse! It will!

Are you kidding? The stuff you get today will barely kill a wasp.

You can buy pepper spray that shoots a stream for 20 or more feet. Also bear spray shoots 20-30 ft and would be more effective than wasp spray.

Not great advice.

This old meme has been floating around the Internet for decades.

Wasp spray may or may not be effective, but it is likely to be less effective than pepper spray.

There are plenty of pepper sprays that have as much range as wasp spray.

Wasp spray may be better than nothing, but pepper spray is almost certainly better than wasp spray.

Pepper spray is a recognized self-defense tool that does not cause permanent injury - wasp spray is not, and using it could land the user in big legal trouble,

I suspect wasp spray would have to be sprayed into open eyes in order to be most effective. The attacker would just have to close his eyes and hold his breath for a few seconds, and walk clear of the area sprayed.

Bad advice. Check the youtubes. One guy takes pepper spray to the face, falls to his knees in extreme pain, can’t do anything but cry for water, worse pain in his life he says. In another session he takes wasp spray to the face. Hurts but doesn't stop him from walking and bring agile. If he was after you, all you would have done is piss him off.

My entire family carry wasp spray in the cup holder of the driver’s door of their vehicles. Legal defense even for 16 year olds.

Be careful of the law. It is a chemical weapon if used on a person. Just shoot the bastard.
