sorry I am so slow.  What is CS gas?? Type slow for us old slower thinkin guys.

Tear gas.  Pardon the "old" reference, but this is the old fashioned irritant used by the military and police to disperse crowds, riot control, etc.  Still used for crowd control, but personal defense has gone more to pepper spray.  CS doesn't affect everyone or most animals - pepper spray works on everyone and everything.  CS also requires heat to disperse, not good in some situations.  All the vets should remember that CS is what was used in the gas chamber when we did our protective mask drills.

Sorry, I kind of used "CS" as a generalization. Maybe some of those big cans of pepper spray meant for bears would work.

Ach - no apologies necessary, I do the same thing, "cut my teeth" on CS, so I still refer to all that spray and gas stuff as CS.  Kinda ages me around all the young whipper-snappers.  Yea, the fire extinguisher sized ones.  You'd have a mess, but it would be on stuff that is still yours.

There are high-buck, "taylor made" systems that do that, flood the house with a gas, but I forgot what it is/uses. They claim that the house can be entered after an hour, and there is/are no traces of the gas left over. ?

 

In case you enter the house without disarming it first, there's an alarm that goes off and gives you a minute to do that. Those breaking in don't really know that the alarm means they are about to be gassed.

If you happen to be in your home with the system armed and a break-in occurred,I suppose then it would be decision time.. options   - 1.disarm the system    - 2. put on your gas mask and watch the home invaders suffer  ...might be illegal in some jurisdictions.
