I always keep 2 cans for that very reason. And I never just do a
single job. When I see a spot that can use some, I make a note of it
and write it on a card placed between my 2 cans. When there is
enough to use a whole can, I go to work. If the first can fails- I
have a backup. IME about one can in 6 is a dud.

The good news is, it is worth $4 to see the mess a full, but
apparently worthless can makes when you shoot it with a pellet gun.

Hint-- backup 20-30 feet, and don't have anything you like within a
20 foot diameter. you can triple the 'mess zone' by suspending the
can on a 3-4' string.
