That’s true, it’s just depriving them of oxygen.

WARNING: vapor harmful. Contains 1,1,Difluoroethane 75–37-6.

That’s from the product label on the can in front of me. I can’t tell you the exact molecular structure from all of that, but basically, it’s a fluorocarbon, same class of chemicals as refrigerants.
