I bought some fly spray today and noticed that it claimed to 'kill bugs dead'
How else could it kill them ?
I find it amusing to invent meanings for apparently meaningless collections of words, and found 'killing dead' quite stimulating.
Perhaps it means killing beyond hope of resurrection. Plato thought all living things have 'souls' which can be reborn in bodies attuned to the merit or otherwise of their previous lives. Perhaps mine is a Platonist fly spray that puts an end even to the cycle of death and reincarnation.

Perhaps we are being reassured against the awful possibility that the bugs might become undead, in either a vampiric or zombified fashion. I must say I will sleep more peacefully knowing that houseflies killed by Vapona will not return as 12 foot high vampires.
I expect that claiming your fly spray was zombie repellent would break some EU directive, about respecting the otherness of the differently dead perhaps.
