compressed/canned air
Another very strong deterrent, used responsibly of course.
Not suggesting there are many (if any) good uses, just that it makes a serious impression. |

I would worry about the eyes with compressed air. A simple spray bottle (loaded with water, or maybe sulfuric acid) is probably safer. I once had a squirt gun with bits of plastic in it that made it rattle when shaken. After a couple of, ummm, incidents, it turned out that I just had to shake it once to get the cat's attention, no shots required Yeah, sulfuric acid might be a bit harsh... |

A simple spray bottle (loaded with water, If you don't mind spraying water all over the place. or maybe sulfuric acid) is probably safer. That is clearly dangerous.

After a couple of, ummm, incidents, it turned out that I just had to shake it once to get the cat's attention, no shots required That's the way it is with everything that's very effective, but it requires occasional refreshing.

Sulfuric acid is car battery acid. Its horrific stuff. Totally incompatible with life. Your stomache acid is hydracloric acid. About 10%, and its bad enough. Stay away from sulfuric acid. |
