Hi Malcolm,
I've also seen this in an electric gate opener box and it's amazing how and where they get in and also how energetic they appeared to be in and around the 240V~ transformer. Maybe they like 50Hz hum or somehow track the EM field.
BTW - I wouldn't suggest surface spray on live circuits as the propellant is usually flammable and possibly conductive.
Best
