Great demo dudes! I bought a can from the discounted section in my grocery store and put it in the back pouch of my passenger seat in my car. What a false sense of security I've had. Pepper spray is the way to go.
There are so many fake 'solutions' to government created problems. The right to self-defense should be unquestioned but in so many countries, criminals have more rights than victims.
Awesome!!! A guy in Mississippi just told me he was checking out pepper spray videos, and he noticed the Amber's Drive shirt and you mentioning it. Thanks for the plug guys!!! Great video! I love your channel! I freaking love you guys!!!!
I can't believe you let someone spray these chemicals in your face. I hope there are no long-term health concerns from it. Thank you for providing this valuable information, however. It's frustrating when people recommend wasp spray - even years and years later - when it's very clear it's not effective.
Where are any comment stories on using wasp spray to fend off attacking vicious DOGS? I know people should have some interesting stories. Does it work on DOGS? There is a funny and telling video on yt of a guy spraying a neighbor's attacking dog with BEAR spray. The dog raced back home and went inside and the neighbor's house party fled into the street due to the noxious smell in the house.
I am still unsure. Commenters below have stories ranging from it hurting terribly or else not hurting at all. Some State laws may or may not classify using it as a felony. I'm sure any court of law would not prosecute you if you use it for protection in a violent PHYSICAL assault. Just spraying it in a neighbor-on-neighbor verbal fight should be charged.
It is a Federal crime, but that doesn't matter. Mostly, it will do nothing. The petroleum distillates can irritate the eyes and lungs. Compared to pepper spray, it's nothing. The poison component will do absolutely nothing. Drugs and alcohol can make a personal able to withstand crazy amounts of pain. It really doesn't matter if some wasp spray brands will hurt more, use pepper spray. The difference is like a hard smack on the rear versus 5 rounds boxing Mike Tyson.
I got sprayed in the face with a bedbug fogger by a psychotic roommate and the judge gave him simple assault. The DA asked if I wanted him to be charged with aggravated (e.g. felony assault) and I said I didn't want to bother. He got 10 days in jail and 6 months suspended.
I've had two eye surgeries and still have vision issue and light sensitivity from being sprayed in the eyes with wasp and hornet spray by my younger brother. I was 6 I'm now 32. The fire and pain was real. Maybe the formula has changed?
It's a comparison between a 6 year old and an adult. A 6 year old's eye being more sensitive and vulnerable makes sense but that does it help us in self defense against an adult. Other things to consider: what was the distance you were sprayed at? Was the damage from the chemicals specifically or from the impact and irritation from the spray itself? I'm sure water shot out of a hose with the right pressure and distance to an eyeball could also cause physical damage. That doesn't make them effective strategies against an aggressor.
I'm sure the safety issues have changed dramatically. All the testing done on animals for a "safe level in humans", if you get hit with it. And to avoid lawsuits. I'm so sorry that happened to you. A life altering event. What happened to your brother?
I am not saying that pepper spray isn't preferable to wasp spray, but I did once accidentally get some wasp spray in my eyes, and couldn't hardly see for several minutes.
I found the video to provide very useful information to combat the disinformation that people may find out there on television or the Internet. Thanks for your short-term sacrifice involving the wasp spray.
About a week ago my wife and I took a course on Home Defense. The instructor was a Lieutenant in a Sheriff's police force, covering a population of over 186,000 people at the last census. He had 26 1/2 years on the force, still working, and has been on the S.W.A.T Team for 22 years. When we got to the section on non-lethal weapons for protection, he talked about Tazers, OC spray (pepper spray), rubber pellets in shotgun shells, Mace, wasp spray, a baseball bat and a couple of other things. With regard specifically to wasp spray, he acknowledged that it had a good range, but that about all he had to say as a benefit. First, as shown in this video, it isn't always effective to stop someone coming after you. That is also true with pepper spray sold over the counter, and police Mace is a lot stronger. But also importantly, wasp spray contains a nerve agent (which is why it is effective to a wasp, as it absorbs the wasp spray through its body, and essentially paralyzes the wasp). He noted that police Mace is stronger than the pepper sprays you buy in a store, and that OC sprays aren't always strong enough to hold back some attackers. But the reason that I took my can of wasp spray out of our bedroom was when he told us this: At least in Illinois, you can use deadly force only if you are at risk of imminent bodily injury or death. The nature of wasp spray means it might get used a legitimate situation, you also might be inclined to use it in a situation that you were not in risk bodily injury or death. Since there is a nerve agent in wasp spray, if you got mad at someone who was just annoying, the long lasting effects or permanent effects of wasp spray might cause you to be arrested and charged with a crime, and/or,be subject to a lawsuit.
This comment alone is more important than the video this should be the first thing you ask yourself before you plan on using something as a weapon in any situation “can this get me arrested?” Pepper spray, taser, baton=No Wasp spray, Hot grease, baseball bat=Yes This is why we don’t use things that aren’t meant to be weapons as weapons unless we have no other options at the time
So the police lieutenant says wasp spray has good range but that is all for protection. Later you typed that in Illinois wasp spray could be looked at as using deadly force. That seems to be confusing.
I agree, but I don't want to do it. I think it would also be good to compare getting tazed, or shot with a bean bag round from a 12 ga shotgun, but I don;t want to do that either. Maybe we'll try those things on a watermelon.
Bug spray paralyzes the nervous system of bugs so they suffocate and die. Same effect as VX and Sarin gas. However i dont think bug spray is identical to VX gas when it comes to human reaction. Thanks for the vid.
Most bug sprays are pyrethrins which work differently than organophosphates. Even if they were that same class, the amount of consumer bug poison needed to make someone sick is several orders of magnitude more than what you mentioned. Bug spray is also mostly inert. The kind I have has poison at .035% that's 99.965% not poison.
throw the can ,,lol my EXwife threw a can of raid at me and it hit me behind the ear 11 stitches later,and a headache i realised the only thing that stopped me was self control
I have a family member (who I was with at the time) who was approached by a violent person and their friends intending us harm and he sprayed these people in the eyes and they screamed and curled into a ball, since I witnessed this it makes it hard to side with this video on the effectiveness. You might be able to handle it better than others but a lot of people seem to react pretty harshly to this, the only real issue is the legality.
So you're willing to chance that the person you're spraying will have a reaction vs using something that will definitely work? I'm going with the sure thing.
He is not supporting using wasp spray, he's proving that it is useless for home defense by spraying it on himself-and not reacting at all. He agrees that pepper spray is what should be used instead.
This was a terrible video. The wasp spray I use comes out very thick and has a 20 foot range. I guarantee if I cover your face with that foam you won’t be opening your eyes long enough for me to close on you to finish the job.
The fact that some guy had a visceral reaction to being sprayed with something on the street isn't proof that wasp spray is an effective self-defense tool. If your friend had doinked them in the eyes like Three Stooges they probably would have reacted like that, does that mean your two fingers are a good self defense tool you should bank on?
I Believe It's a FELONY to Spray "Wasp Spray" as a Possible BLINDING AGENT.. Get Pepper Spray as a Self Defense spray Unless You Are Trained & Licensed For TEAR GAS / MACE Professional Grade. ( Same as P.D. )
Start Michael But the law takes into account "intent", so simply grabbing the nearest thing available, which just happens to be wasp spray, would be perfectly justifiable.
Well move out of that fuck Democrat state you live in. In Texas you can use any means necessary to protect yours .. i would never use wasp spray i prefer .357
Are you insane? ofc. These synthetic petrochemicals are designed to attack tissue. You have to to be worried about the LONG TERM effects. I would be very curious to know 1 year later how your eyes are doing: Jul 13, 2017, Keep us posted :) Microscopic dehydration in your eyes may not be a reversible condition, no matter how much water you use to rinse.

Thanks Jim, someday we'll be cool enough for a music video.
hmmm well that sucks thought that was a real solution for people that need protection and can't have a firearm
When i was at spectrum i would get this in mt eyes all the time
You're doing the Lord's work.
Nice video maybe you could try brake cleaner next!
Maybe paint stripper after
BASED SAVAGE ALPHA! BRAVO SIR!
You’re a wild dude spraying toxic chemicals into your face. Like, why?
Dose makes the poison. Every substance is poison in the correct dose, even water.
Put a match to it and do it again

Yeah, that's not gonna go well in court. It's not really any different than spraying some one with arsenic in self defense, it's just not gonna fly.

I used to work for dish. I got that crap in my eyes and mouth all the time. My own sweat hurt worse than wasp spray

Good video. Thank you
rubbing alcohol in a high volume spray bottle
Only use alcohol in a 50% concentration base because it is not flammable. Pharmacy alcohol in concentrations of 70%, 91% and 100% are all flammable.
have you tried oven cleaner?
Oven cleaner would dissolve his face. Interesting idea for self defense. I wonder what the RANGE is on oven cleaner. (Pun intended.)
That's a very good "shoot-down" of this urban legend!
Many thanks!
But have you now started to lay eggs inside caterpillars?
LOL, not yet.
Would have been a great comparison to then have someone shoot pepper spray of any sort at you, to compare the reaction.
I agree, but I don't want to do it. I think it would also be good to compare getting tazed, or shot with a bean bag round from a 12 ga shotgun, but I don;t want to do that either. Maybe we'll try those things on a watermelon.

thank you hows your eyes now
Just fine, not what they were when I was 18, but above average for mid 40s.
Been a few months. Channel still active before I sub?
Yes, just working on a few vids last weekend. We upgraded our camera and microphone too!
throw the can ,,lol my EXwife threw a can of raid at me and it hit me behind the ear 11 stitches later,and a headache i realised the only thing that stopped me was self control
Why would you do this to yourself?
To prove it is ineffective as personal protection. He also has years of experience in chemicals, he knows what he’s doing.
wd40 kills wasps pretty decent
Please don’t test on yourself
Do you prefer dangerous misinformation or a self test
Now you are prompt to getting cancers from those chemicals
Not nearly enough exposure.
