bug sprayer

Insect poison dispenser

A bug sprayer is a device for dispensing insecticide, typically a handheld pump or pressurized canister that produces a mist or stream: I grabbed the bug sprayer when I saw ants in the kitchen.

The term can also refer to a person whose job involves pest control, though exterminator is more common for professionals.
