Better Than Pepper Spray - Wasp and Hornet spray

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an
elderly woman in Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life.

Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania
Southview High School . For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray near your door. (or bed).
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more
effective than mace or pepper spray.

The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes".

It's a tip he's given to students for decades. It's also
one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for
protection, Glinka says look to the spray.
"That's going to give you a chance to call the police;
maybe get out."
Maybe even save a life.



Wasp Spray

A friend who is a receptionist in a
church in a high risk area was
concerned about someone coming into the
office on Monday to rob them when they
were counting the collection.

She asked the local police department about
using pepper spray and they recommended
to her that she get a can of wasp spray
instead. The wasp spray, they told
her, can shoot up to twenty feet away
and is a lot more accurate, while with
the pepper spray they have to get too
close to you and could overpower you.

The wasp spray temporarily blinds an
attacker until they get to the
hospital for an antidote. She keeps a
can on her desk in the office and it
doesn't attract attention from people
like a can of pepper spray would. She
also keeps one nearby at home for home
protection. Thought this was
interesting and might be of use...
