Aircraft disinsection

Aircraft disinsection helps to protect Australia from human diseases carried by insects.

All aircraft arriving in Australia must be disinsected. This can include spraying insecticide in passenger cabins and cargo holds. The approved insecticide sprays do not harm human health when used as recommended.

DAFF manages aircraft disinsection for us. Go to their website to find out more about aircraft disinsection.
I do not remember this occuring on my flights to UA (pre-2020)
