I would say no to the spaying too, because if other bugs or worms come into contact with the insecticide and then the box turtle eats that bug or worm it would likely get very sick, brain dead or dead. What you could do is move to another enclosure, spay, then wait at least twice as long as it says to wait before human or pet contact to be safe.
Finally this might be enough of a push for you to just build a new bigger, more open new enclosure I myself need that same push right now. If the weather stays fairly dry I hope to accomplish building a new bigger, more open enclosure in the next couple weeks before all mine come up for good for summer.
