What's Logical?

My son has developed a fascination for spraying things. He loves to load up his hair with gel and hairspray. Yesterday he sprayed lysol in his hair. Today he sprayed his sister with Wrinkle Releaser. He has also sprayed bleach in the bathroom, etc.
Ok, so here is my question. What is the logical consequence for this? What would work for this? Be creative for me if you've ever encountered this? Time out hasn't worked. Having to clean the kitchen cabinets with a wipey hasn't worked. A long cold shower to wash off all the lysol hasn't worked. Lengthy (and to the point) conversations about how spray things can blind you, make you sick, ruin your clothes, make you cough, they are expensive (as in the hair stuff)...hasn't worked.
Applicants with no experience need not apply - you obviously wouldn't get it!

I've always just stuck with scaring the snot out of them with warning labels and poison talks, but it sounds like you've already tried that. Otherwise, I've got nothin'. Maybe you need a locked cabinet, if all else fails?
