How safe is air freshener?

The other day a sudden brief desert storm blew through my town, and the ants came pouring into my otherwise beautiful poolside room. I had forgotten to get ant baits and ant poison spray when I'd gone shopping. In desperation, trying to stem the tide, I sprayed them with my air freshener spray (an off brand, called [i]Nice![/i]). AND ALL THE ANTS DIED!!! They all just stopped moving and dropped dead. I watched them for about 10 minutes, and not one of them revived.

I have never in my life had any ant poison spray work as well as this can of air freshener did. In fact, I had sometimes gotten the impression that poison spray just got them high rather than killed them; they just staggered around for a while, then most of them kept on going.

So...I've been using this air freshener in my rented room and in the shared (with two guys) bathroom...

Should I be using this air freshener spray ever again for it's stated purpose?

Has anyone ever used air freshener to kill ants or other bugs?

Should I write to the manufacturer of the air freshener and suggest a massive relabeling of their product?

Start your own company making the stuff brand as ant repellent and sell. You can expect a good profit as ants are difficult to get rid of. 馃 ching ching
