Another dog attack yesterday. Looking for pepper spray.

Post by **douglas** » January 8, 2014, 7:42 am

Hi
About 20 years ago I built a device that I found in a Practical Electronic book. It was about the size of a packet of cigs. It transmitted a sound that annoyed the dogs and they would run away, a person could not hear the sound as the frequency was to high. It also worked on cats etc., The cost was about 20GBP of which 14GBP was the cost of the platinum speaker. Worked with a PP3 battery, or a mains power supply. Stopped the cats trying to nick the fish in my pond.
Have not kept the details but you might be lucky if you try a google search.

I find that my right, heavily shod foot connecting smartly with the soft, dangly collection of objects between their back legs normally works.
I, my fault, was once bitten during this act; my wound healed swiftly but the, formally noisy, soi dog's bark is now a yelp!!

Too often people look to prepare themselves with self-defense items AFTER there is an incident! The best self-defense measures is being proactive and not reactive.

Try vinegar with a few red chillies in a spray bottle.the ones with adjustable nozzles so you can get good shooting distance.just score the chillies or you'll block the nozzle.

Literally tons of circuits on Google BUT these days you buy stuff from China for a few bucks.

Don't know how well it works, if at all, but worth a try I guess. Don't have to be "on yer bike" to try it either.

Could even get a few different types at the price shown.

P.S. If it kind of works a little bit, feed the output into your stereo system to boost it up..

( or a mobile amp, get these for 12v and 40w in China too)

I bought one of these off Lazada from China and it has zero effect on dogs. The flashlight works, but I don't need another flashlight. A complete waste of money!

Looking for a strong "Laser light" - being used by these effin idiots trying to blind airline pilots, for my use = Dogs and Cats ONLY at a distance. Been here too long and the olde sling shot does not work as well as it once did!

We live in the sticks and many pack dogs around the land but they don't seem to bother coming into our land. I even asked our Rottie's and they couldn't understand it too

A dog has a very sensitive nose. I use a plastic squeeze bottle filled with household ammonia. My motorbike has a little compartment on both sides within easy reach that hold a small bottle. I don't have to spray the dog, just squirt some on the ground ahead of it. Once the dog gets a sniff of that, he won't bother you again. I never try to squirt them in the face, it may blind them and I don't want to injure the dog.

Most pharmacies stock ammonia. I use it on insect bites.

They only Pepper Spray I've seen in Udon was in Big C upstairs - Phosi. They a about 20ml & low power. Only useful if your attacker is on you.

As for Ammonia, or other toxic, non injurious DIY sprays, the problem I see is the dispenser, which need to be pressurised, & therefore quick to use.
Having to squeeze a bottle maybe twice, isn't instant, which it must be when the teeth are about to engaged!

Hoping Mr Parrot knows of a self pressurising bottle, similar to the weedkiller dispensers, but much smaller.

it might be an idea to spray the bike with ammonia once a week.
don't know if it's nice to drive around with the smell, but dogs can smell much better than humans.
might give it a try.
