Insect Spray Products
What is it? ![]()
Insects may be a welcome intrusion to an entomologist, but for the rest of us, the presence of crawling or flying insects in your home is never welcome. Whether you’re trying to enjoy some time out in the sun or spend a relaxing afternoon on the couch, insects can strike at any time.
Some of the most common insects within the household include flies, mosquitoes, moths, wasps, spiders, ants, fleas, cockroaches, ticks, and bed bugs. These pests show up at different times of the year respectively, prefer certain weather conditions over others depending on their body composition, and can be more problematic in some regions of the country compared to others.
Fortunately, there are proven containment methods and pest control products like insect spray that will help you rid yourself of the issue, whatever your insect problem may be. By carrying out preventative measures such as keeping your home clean alongside the use of insect sprays, you will be able to solve most insect problems.
There is nothing worse than thinking you’ve gotten rid of that annoying insect situation, only for it to come right back the very next day. This is why you need to use an effective, reliable, and fast-acting insect spray. When it comes to dealing with insects, there’s only one choice – Hovex.

How Does Insect Spray Work?
Insect killer spray works in different ways to kill insects, depending on the type of pest. Most sprays designed for the home use pyrethrin as their active ingredient. When cockroaches, ants, or other pests chew or walk on objects sprayed with pest spray, these pyrethroid chemicals stop the bugs almost instantly with a ‘knockdown effect’. This ‘knockdown effect’ is generated as the chemicals within the spray prevent nerves from transmitting impulses or signals, resulting in paralysis of all major systems and eventually death.
In contrast, mosquito spray is designed to confuse flying pests by attracting them to a smell away from your body. Choose whichever insect killer spray is most effective for that particular insect to see successful results.

Will Flying Insect Spray Kill Spiders?
Yes, Hovex Flying Insect Spray can kill most crawling insects such as spiders, as well as flying insects.
How Does Insect Spray Kill Cockroaches?
Cockroach spray is solvent-based, and the spray itself produces large droplets. When the droplets hit a cockroach, they quickly spread across its waxy surface, penetrating the cuticle, and absorbing inside the cockroach for a quick kill.
Can Insect Spray Kill Bed Bugs?
It may kill the bed bugs themselves, but it is unlikely to kill the eggs they leave behind. Once these eggs hatch, you’ll see more bed bugs, meaning insect and bug spray alone will not be enough to solve a bed bug infestation.

Does Insect Spray Kill Fleas?
It may kill the fleas themselves, but it is unlikely to kill the eggs they leave behind. Once these eggs hatch, you’ll see more fleas, meaning insect and bug spray alone will not be enough to treat a flea issue.

Does Insect Spray Kill Bees?
Insect and bug spray is rarely effective on bees; 50% of wasp spray attempts to kill bees end up in that person being stung. This is because as it works to incapacitate the bees, they release a pheromone that causes all alive bees to attack. Moreover, once you start to attack the bees with sprays, they get much more aggressive, making it harder to rid yourself of the problem once and for all later down the track.
If you were to use wasp spray, it would take much longer to work compared to bee-specific spray and thus be more dangerous.
