insecticide spray

Aerosol pest poison

Insecticide spray is a pressurized product that releases chemicals to kill insects.

The spray format allows targeting specific areas—baseboards, windowsills, nests—or treating entire rooms.

Common active ingredients include pyrethroids and organophosphates.

I keep insecticide spray under the sink for when the ants come back.
