Yes "they" do. The injector will feed any liquid you hook up to it.I wonder if they have a pepper spray option..
I see this in your futureIf you want a physical barrier but don’t want a giant concrete wall, simple black iron 6ft fence will slow down intruders enough to give you time to respond.

That's an IBU wall.Concrete wall. Stick upside-down beer bottles into the top before it hardens and then break off the bottles.
Very popular in Caracas.
Ive always heard that motion lighting is more of a deterrent than lights that are on all the time.A few years back I bought some cheap solar lights from Walmart, put them all around the yard and house. I even put them in wood line, I fell its a good start and really adds a extra layer of light in dark spots to scare off anyone poking around.
They are high enough so most cant reach them, they look like the have a camera mounted on them and they all have been working fine except for one.
They were 10 bucks a pop and as cheap as they are the work great. Is it better than a wall or high fence, no but as I sit in my house at night and see a light pop on it gets me up and looking.
Plus if it really was a bad dude who is trying to use the cover of darkness, he doesn't know if it was homeowner who tripped the light or solar, more than likely he will move on. Once the your cover is blown your plans are to.
You didn't mention how close this wall would be to your house. If it's within Molitoff cocktail tossing distance from your house it can be defeated easily. One glass bottle filled with gasoline smashed against your house and then the perps just need to wait for you to exit of your own accord.Not sure if this is the right place for this but here it goes. Im in a decent town but close to the downtown area. Dozens of multi family houses and small apartment building within 3 or 4 blocks of me, along with a couple of highways for easy access/egress. Over the last 3 or 4 years Ive noticed an uptick of shady characters just kind of walking around. Currently there is nothing stopping someone from walking up to the house and around the back. Ive been thinking of some kind of masonry structure along the front where my lawn abuts the sidewalk with some thorn bushes in front to deter climbing it. Maybe half masonry with some sort of metal fence above it, bushes in front or behind. Sliding gate for the driveway.
Just looking for ideas and ballpark numbers at this point. Anyone have anything similar? Decent neighborhood so I dont want 6 foot chain link or a cinderblock wall. PVC can be kicked in by a 10 year old or driven through. Same with wood plus I dont want the maintenance issues of wood. I guess ideally Id like reinforced concrete with some sort of a decent looking masonry facade and decorative metal fence on top. Something that will slow down or stop people on foot or vehicles without looking like a biker clubhouse or a third world hellhole.

Something to think about.

If you put camo on anything, it immediately becomes cool.About 6 dogs, pitbulls or German shepherds.
Motion lights
No trees or plants near house
No TV or Xbox boxes on trash day
No fancy cars parked outside
Be alert. If someone is casing you and you give them that I see you look their dick will get soft.
Plus camouflage, look like everyone else around you.
Guarantee perps will pick one of your neighbors instead
lol I think he’s talking about avg problems…. apex predator types are a whole other ordeal. Making typical daily BDC crackhead randos move on is easy compared to that.You didn't mention how close this wall would be to your house.

sounds delightful! i've got this vision in my head of the junk yard from one of the final scenes in "pulp fiction", where the wolf, jules and vincent drop that car off to be disposed of. it just sprang into my head when i read your vision for your first line of defense. i can see the boys standing out front discussing going to breakfast.Ive been thinking of some kind of masonry structure along the front where my lawn abuts the sidewalk with some thorn bushes in front to deter climbing it.

Some crackheads were casing my trailer this week in Indianapolis while I was packing for my move to KY today…I saw them drive by the cross street and hung out the window looking at the Harley and whatever else was visible. I knew they would be back, so I grabbed a box and headed outside…sure as shit they circled around the block and decided to come directly down my street. The passenger was rubber necking my open trailer until he saw me coming out of the house.
In a perfectly timed coincidence, my neighbor next door was backing out of his driveway so the crack heads had to stop (one way street). I walked right up to the window and asked if I could help them with anything. They both mumbled and looked like they might have tinkled their little crack head panties. I just stood there and stared at them, then walked around the back of the van and took down their plate number because I didn’t have my phone. Then walked over to the drivers side to get a better look at him before they were able to take off.
I left my truck and trailer out all night in the front of the house and no one bothered it. I left my front porch light on and asked my neighbor across the street to do the same.
If you’re lucky enough to notice someone casing your shit…this definitely works! I’m not a very intimidating looking person, but put my best ‘I will pull out your fingernails if you touch my shit’ look on my face when I approached them and apparently it did the trick.
I can WAIT to get out of the city!
Now you’re talkin.Punji Sticks and razor wire.
Look at my survival post.Now you’re talkin.
Steel garden/yard stakes are nice and sharp on one end. A wire cutter / bolt cutter can quickly make it two.Look at my survival post.
I have lots of wire. 3d printing Punji sticks now!
I'm putting plastic roses on the tops!
