There are a variety of ways in which insecticide sprays kill. Many depend upon which insect you are wanting to eliminate. Many fly sprays work in a similar fashion.
According to my research insecticides generally attack and disable the nervous system insects. Some must be ingested, others are so potent that they work "on contact" as do the sprays. The most common contact spray ingredient is Pyrethrin. This ingredient is very fast acting and immobilizes flying insects almost instantaneously.
