Possible indirect exposure to bug spray?

Don't really know if this goes here, but it's been a late night and I have no one else to ask...
We have cockroaches really, really bad. I'm so stressed about them lately. We bought a big white bottle of spray that we use when we find a big group of them. But it leaves wet spots that my kitty walks through or lays on. Not near her food or water, but I'm worried that she's going to groom herself and lick the spray and get sick. Is this a reasonable worry? I considered giving her a bath, but she's quickly learned to hate faucets. And washcloths. If I carry her anywhere near a sink she freaks out. So if it is something to worry about, how can I get her cleaned up without getting all scratched up?

Cat wipes? I use them when mine get dirty.

Yes - this is a reasonable concern. I would look at the list of "ingredients" and start looking them up. The paws on their feet absorb what they walk in and you let her lay in it, she can absorb it into her skin or lick it off.

Keep your animals away from all insecticide, rodenticide, and pesticide.....
