insect spray

Aerosol bug poison

Insect spray is a pesticide designed to kill or repel insects, typically dispensed from an aerosol can or pump bottle.

It may target flying insects like flies and mosquitoes, crawling pests like ants and roaches, or serve as a general-purpose bug killer: I grabbed the insect spray when I saw a wasp in the kitchen.
