Unleashing the power of large pepper spray foggers for home defense.

In an era where personal safety is a paramount concern, maintaining security for your home and providing your family with that peace of mind protection should be a priority. 

There is a wide variety of self defense weapons people can choose for their home. Here we are going to take a deep dive into using Police Magnum's large pepper spray foggers for home security and vital tips on deploying them effectively.

The Basics

Large pepper spray foggers are designed to produce multiple powerful blasts of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) - the active component in chili peppers that causes an intense burning sensation. In the fogger model this creates a rapid widespread effect; ideal for handling multiple threats simultaneously.

The foggers wide range spray pattern paired with the maximum heat strength make up the ultimate stopping power protection that is non-lethal. An intruder or group of attackers when sprayed across the face will be completely incapacitated by having significantly impaired vision and respiratory function. This provides the home owner and family time to call for help or escape. 

Strategic Placement In Your Home

No one can often predict when a home invasion will happen and planning ahead of time is key to be able to quickly react and defend your home to stop a threat before they can enter. Positioning in locations to cover entry points such as the front and back doors as well as having one near your bed at night so you can be ready to react if you are awoken in the night. 

Precautions & Safety Tips

1. Legal Considerations: Firstly is to check your local laws & regulations regarding the use of pepper sprays. For instance, some states only allow up to 2oz canister sizes.
2. Maintenance: In the same way you need to maintain guns to stay safe. Pepper spray has a shelf life of 4-5 years and needs to be checked it is not expired. On Police Magnum canisters you can check the bottom of the canister for the stamp date. All of our pepper sprays are manufactured in small batches to guarantee a full expiration with your purchase.
3. Training: Being comfortable operating your pepper spray is just as important as having one. We recommend watching video demonstrations on our Youtube channel and more importantly practicing for yourself, whether that is spraying in the back garden with a target and getting used to the feel and knowing what to expect so you can remain in control.
4. Safety Features: Linked with training above; learning how to arm your pepper spray for use and how to disarm with a safety pin that is provided to prevent any accidental misfiring.
5. Emergency Planning: Having a plan in place and discussing it with your family members is critical so everyone is on the same page and knows where to run to whether thats a safe room and having a phone available to call emergency services to knowing all of the possible exit routes around your home if necessary.
