They seem to appear after storms - maybe the electrical current drives them out or they come out so they don't drown. I recently saw hundreds of them on a driveway where I was dog sitting in Gilchrest.
As for insecticides, pick up BENGAL concentrate at Home Depot and spray around foundation. You'll need a pump sprayer.
Good luck they are frustrating....
