I am now talking about Self Protection using noise producers and light blinders or "blinkies".
One such item is called a "screecher" alarm.
It emits an ear piercing blast that's readily recognized as a call for help.
Another is an Electronic Whistle, emitting a loud 120DB whistle.
It can be used as a safety alarm for crime prevention or police for traffic duty, a locator in emergencies, dog handling, a referee for sports games, etc.
When out walking the dog, just push a button to keep pests away.
Finally, sometimes I recommend the use of a small canister of pepper spray and/or Mace.
If in the event you live in a state that has strict pepper spray laws, I would then recommend the use of a stun guns and/or a Taser.
Each of these (when used properly) will help you and your loved ones avoid a harmful attack from a mugger or wild animal.
Another type, a wedge shaped door alarm.
Goes off when someone opens a door uninvited.
A keychain alarm with a flashing light, a door alarm, hanging on the door knob, goes off when someone touches the knob, a magnetic door alarm, bolted to the door jamb or the side of a window, and goes off with noise when someone opens the door or window.
How about an item called "Secure Dog".
When an intruder gets near the door it starts barking like an angry dog, scaring possible crooks away, and a pool alarm that sounds an audible alarm when children or pets fall into the pool.
More security products coming up in our next article.
