bug bomb

Pest fog canister

A bug bomb is a pressurized canister that releases insecticide as a fog or mist to fill an enclosed space, killing insects throughout.

You set it off and leave the room—or the whole house—for several hours: We bug bombed the apartment to get rid of roaches.

Also called a fogger.
