 Insect spirits are exceptionally dangerous to magicians. After the fall of Chicago, this spell started to become quite popular as the “Bug Menace” grew in importance. Insecticide is a specialized variant of '''[[#One Less Metatype/Species, Slay Metatype/Species, Slaughter Metatype/Species|Slay]]''' designed to target a specific type of insect spirit. Each unique type of insect spirit requires different version of this spell, such as Insecticide Ant Spirits or Insecticide Roach Spirits.

 ;Indirect Area: Area indirect spells travel from the magician to the point of detonation and then go boom. The test is like that for '''[[SR5:Combat#Grenades|grenades]]''': a '''[[SR5:Skills#Spellcasting|Spellcasting]]''' + '''[[SR5:Attributes#Magic|Magic]]''' ['''[[SR5:Skills#Spellcasting|Force]]'''] (3) Test with scatter of 2D6 meters. Unlike grenades, you get to add your net hits on this test to the Damage Value of the spell, but only if you beat the threshold; otherwise the spell still detonates, but the hits are used to reduce scatter by one meter per hit.
