Another trick that I learned from my brother, the mechanic is the use of brake parts cleaner. A bunch of bees had a hive near the garage; he disturbed it, and they started flying all over. He grabbed a can of Raid and started spraying them as they were flying around him. He ran out and quickly grabbed a can of brake parts cleaner. The bees were dying mid flight. I've never seen anything work so fast. It worked way better than that can of Raid. Then he told me that another benefit was that it doesn't leave an oily film and evaporates immediately, which is why it's perfect for your car's brakes.
Now I keep a can in the house, especially here in S. Florida, where the Palmetto bugs (giant tropical roaches) are super fast, and don't die easily. Brake parts cleaner is the only thing that kills them fast enough that they can't run away under something (before they're dead). Plus, if you spray a spider on the wall, there's no oily residue to mess up the paint. However, make sure there's fresh air. I was cleaning something with this stuff, inside, and found myself high as a kite about 30 min. later! LOL...
