Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
How do I know if my bear spray is still effective? We recommend checking the expiration date and storing it between 40-120°F (4-49°C). If you can’t confirm the temperature, it’s best to treat it as expired.
-
Can I leave my bear spray in my vehicle during summer? Extreme heat can damage the canister and reduce its effectiveness. It’s best to store bear spray in a cool, dry place inside your home.
-
What if I accidentally left my bear spray in freezing temperatures? Don’t panic! While it’s ideal to keep it within the recommended temperature range, minor fluctuations won’t significantly affect performance. However, prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures could cause the canister to become brittle. Inspect it for any damage before use.
-
How can I tell if my bear spray needs replacing? Check for signs of physical damage or leaking. Even if it seems fine, remember that effectiveness decreases over time, so consider replacing it after one year for optimal protection.
-
I live in a humid climate. Will this affect the storage temperature? High humidity might slightly impact the rate of evaporation, but as long as the can remains sealed and within the recommended temperature range, it should maintain its potency.
