Just read an ad in one of the pest control mags that I get about an animal deterrent made by a paintl company called Deter-it-HEAT balls. It's made for slingshots and paintball guns. From the ad -
The balls, when broken (yeah, I know how that sounds) release a 1.5 million Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) repellent into an aerosol cloud, which causes irritation to the mucous membranes of animals. Here's a link to their site. I have not tried these, nor have I purchased anything from the company. Just thought it was interesting. http://www.nelsontechinc.com/deterit.html

Sounds like the same stuff that allot of L.E. units are using in paint ball guns. Only they call them Pepper ball guns.

Yep. I saw these in use once on a show called "Jail". It's like "Cops" but shows what they do in jail.

It does look the same. Don't know if the strength of the stuff is or not, or the availability to the general public for the stuff that LE uses.
