What is Pepper Spray?

Pepper spray contains a powerful formula that creates an intense burning sensation if released into an attacker's eyes. Many types, including Mace pepper sprays, are made from naturally occurring substances derived from hot peppers. Here are a few features to look for when shopping our inventory of pepper spray:

• Pepper spray keychains that attach to your purse, handbag or keys so it's always with you
• Wide spray ranges of 8 to 10 feet for maximum effectiveness
• Protective covers with finger grip dispensers for easy aiming

Pepper Gel Vs. Pepper Spray

Pepper gel is also an option, but it differs from pepper spray. It has a thicker consistency, can generally travel further than pepper spray and may prove hard to wipe off due to its sticky consistency. The thicker consistency makes blowback less likely to happen than with pepper spray, too, reducing the risk of you accidentally getting sprayed.

Personal Security Alarms

With a personal security alarm, a loud alarm will go off as soon as a button is pushed. These alarms are compact and easy to carry, and the noise they produce is designed to call the attention of others while warding off would be intruders or assailants. Look for personal security alarms in our collection that include built-in lights and key rings that conveniently attach to keychains, purses or bags for quick access.

Outdoor Key Hiders

Never be locked out of your home again. Keep your keys safe and secure with a key concealment box that attaches to any metal surface for quick and convenient access. They might look like rocks, sprinklers or a range of other common objects that hide in plain sight.

Fake Security Cameras

Decoy security cameras are designed to look like real security cameras, deterring potential thieves and trespassers. Available in various styles, including dome cameras and bullet cameras, fake security cameras often feature flashing LED lights and realistic housing to enhance their effectiveness.
