I'm not too sure what's in Raid but I cannot imagine it's good for the clear coat or paint...

I put mothballs around the Z when I store it in the winter. I drop 10-12 mothballs in 6-8 nylon knee high stockings and stratigically place them under and around the Z. It keeps the 'mouses' away for good. Not sure what you can use for bugs. Maybe you should try the mothballs, hell moths are insects too. Just don't leave the mothballs inside your vehicle.

Don't. Most pesticides have various ingredients (such as sticker-spreaders etc.) that are designed to prevent the pesticide from washing away. Not a good ideas for the cheap Nissan paint.

Find a Wax or detail spray that they don't like. Probably take some trial and error, and I have no idea what to recommend as a starting point but something is bound to work.

The pesticide particles/mothballs never come in touch with the paint, EVER. They are packed and isolated in their own little containers, the knee highs. The ends of the knee highs are tied in a few knots so they do not open. Very simple and quite effective. No rodents, no spiders, no other bugs.
