Have tried bug bombing (sold about everywhere), Bug bombs usually kill any insects that breathe air. Follow directions on can, no open flames and of course stay out house while bombing and air house out. unusually takes around 3 hours or more.

Don’t over do it. Usually takes 3 to 5 can per house depending on size. Put one in attic also brown recluse spiders are wondering spiders come at night usually. I use them for small ant’s and any insects that get in and multiply. If this bug lays eggs you will have repeat in two weeks or so to kill the hatchlings.
