bug-spray
Insect repellent aerosol
Bug-spray is a substance, usually in aerosol form, designed to repel or kill insects.
It may be applied to the skin to ward off mosquitoes and other biting pests, or sprayed in areas where insects are unwanted.
I forgot the bug-spray and got eaten alive by mosquitoes.
The term is sometimes used loosely for any insecticide, whether it comes in a spray can or not.
