My dog may be afraid of wasp spray?

Yesterday I noticed that I had several wasps entering part of our soffit/roof in front of our house. I had some Raid foaming wasp spray and treated the areas. Immediately after, my dog (in the house, I did not have her near the spray) growled in the direction of the area sprayed and started barking more aggressively than I’ve ever heard. Since then, she will randomly walk to the front door and bark or growl, and will not go out that door. Even if I take her out back, she will not go to the front of the house. I took precautions, changed my clothes when I was done, washed all exposed skin, left my shoes outside and cleaned the porch to eliminate any over spray.

To back track and potentially add more info, last year, we had a yellow jacket nest that got dug up and sprayed with the same spray. She was very leery of that part of the yard for a while, which at the time I attributed to her potentially trying to eat a yellow jacket and got stung? Now I’m not so sure...

I guess, I’m wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this, and how to get her to be comfortable again?
