Ok, I got an email saying that wasp spray will kill a snake. Said it's great because some of them shoot a great distance. I looked it up on line to see if it's true. Got both sides. What do ya'll think?

Are we talking about poison or freeze spray? Some poisons will. But it would take an awful lot of the freeze spray.

Wasp Spray
I know some of you own GUNS, but this is something to think about...---
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you.
Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the
baseball bat.
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.
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.
Please share this with all the people who are precious to your life
Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake? And a mouse! It will! Good to know,
huh? It will also kill a wasp!!!!

I hate to help anyone kill a perfectly good Snake, but am sure that most Wasp spray would at least immobilize if not outright kill a snake. but why not just shew them away with a broom and let them go on killing rats mice and insect? ;D
While I wouldn't trust wasp spray for self defense (I'm a firm believer in large caliber chucnks of lead for that purpose) I would agree that it is probably better than pepper spray by a long shot. Real Mace is the best, but as far as I know it is illegal to sell or buy real mace if you aren't law enforcement.

Harmless snakes, we do let live. As we did with the 2 this spring. But if it is a rattler, nope. Don't want my dogs or grandkids, or any of us getting hit by one.

I'd have to eat the rettlers if I lived in Texas, but would't allow them around kids either.

I keep a can of wasp spray beside the front and back door. Most always am holding it before I open the door at night when someone pulls in the drive.
