Animal Repellents
Animal repellents
are used for preventing confrontations with animals such as canines
or bears. The most common animal repellent is a dog
repellent. Every day, people are accosted by dogs that have
gotten loose off their chains or were never secured at all. The
canine may be responding to what he or she thinks is an invasion
of their territory or the dog may feel threatened in some other
way. Threatened dogs will often bite no matter what their breed
or size. This occurs most often for delivery people. The opportunity
for an animal attack is greater due to the nature of your job. Check
with your department on their policies for carrying animal repellents.
Bear encounters
can be even more dangerous. Because of their massive size, it is
very easy for a bear to overpower a person and seriously injure
or even kill them. Usually bears attack when they are suprised or
are protecting their young. Carrying a bear
repellent on all your trips while in bear country is just common
sense and should be a permanent item on your packing list. Keep
your bear spray in the holster on your side for easy and fast access
when you need it.
If you have
any questions on the use of any of our animal repellents, please
feel free to ask us.
