Prohibited items to ship and to carryon

[Cochituate]

I looked at Luggage Forward’s list  of prohibited items and was surprised. Then I checked out the TSA list which includes  Aerosol insecticides are not allowed in carry-on; however they are allowed in checked bags as long as they are not labeled as hazardous material (HAZMAT).. 
I have purchased aerosol insect repellent and repel to be sprayed on clothing gear. If I am interpreting the information correctly I am uncertain how I will get these products to the ship. Please share any information that you have.

Since aerosol spray is prohibited how about getting Repel in the non-aerosol pump spray instead.  Maybe you can save or give away the sprays you have already purchased.  I like Repel also.  They sell wipes too for skin but wouldn't work to put on clothing.
