I'd rather turn off the shop vac. Cover the end of the hose
maybe with a plastic bag and rubber band. Pop the hose off
the hole on top of the vac, spray into the hole, and put
hose back.

The way those things move air, spraying into a running shop
vac just blows bug spray out the exhaust.

When I have clouds of tiny insects inside (fruitflies, or
those little
orange spherical bugs, or whatever), I find the best way
to clear them
is with a shop vac, which I immediately empty outside in
case any
survived the carnival ride.

And/or spray a little bug spray in the hose while it's
running.

Had the odd one near our single bathroom sink; especially the overflow
aperture in the front edge of the sink.
With sink full of water used the plunger to swish any gunk out of the
overflow.
Then occasional cup of highly dilute bleach avoids further problems.
And yes occasional one around house plants and once or twice near a
banana that was getting 'fruity'.
BTW there may be condensate from the fridge (especailly in warm humid
weather) in either a pan or container behind fridge! Check that as
well?
