New Zealand has very strict quarantine and agricultural restrictions to protect our resources and environment. Passenger aircraft do not get sprayed as the seats should be pre-imgregnated with insecticide to kill any insects etc that make their way inside. Obviously cargo aircraft without seats must therefore be sprayed manually. It may depend which country the aircraft has come from as to whether it gets the spray treatment.
Hope this helps.
