I hope you killed them shortly afterwards from nerve damage. Spraying
bug spray on weapons is one thing - you can spray it so thick it's
dripping off the weapon. i wouldn't want to spray the stuff on myself,
though - it's a rather nasty nerve toxin.

I also wouldn't say that the sort of insect spray intended for spraying
on yourself would hurt the bugs much - that's an insect REPELLANT. What
you need to hurt them is an INSECTICIDE. Chemically different, stronger,
and NOT the sort of thing I want to spray on myself.
