IMO a spray collar would make the problem worse as it would take away his only way of expressing his stress. He may then express it in other ways- chewing!!!
I would pop round to the neighbours with a box of choccies and apologise about the noise and let them know you are working on it.

Does he have the run of the whole house?
You could try a DAP diffuser and see if that helps?
Sounds like a case of SA. Is there any way you can build up the amount of time you leave him for?
