One thing I found on another forum and it sounds crazy is to pour flour on the outside window ledge. Apparently they eat the flour and die outside. I tried it and it worked pretty good
Id try that but unfortunately they are typically by the bathroom window thats upstairs and has no ledge. To be honest I have no idea where they are coming in at. Thats just where we always see them (besides behind our bathroom mirror).

Drop an H Bomb

You'd have to drop 2 before they gave up.

They were bad in my deer stand. Wasp spray knocks them dead. I sprayed spectracide directly on them and they kept crawling but found a ton of dead ones on my next hunt

Sealing up any cracks is the best way to go if you can manage. Poisons will kill if sprayed directly on them but residual poisons doesn't seem to do anything. Vaccuum is the best way to get rid of ones inside house IMO. If you spray them then you still have to clean up the bodies.

Ive seen this posted here as well as other places about vacuuming them. Only issue is where do I put them afterward? If I use a shopvac and blow it out outside all Im doing is releasing them back out to somehow get back in my house right?
I want the frickers exterminated without having to burn the house down. Ive checked all windows for leaks and doors seal good as well. If I could find where they are burrowing that would def help but Ive yet to find that.

They hibernate in groups during the winter, if you keep killing them you'll probably eliminate them all. Bigger thing is to figure out how they're getting in the house, either there are gaps on our siding or maybe the bathroom vent opening on your roof needs a screen on it.

Vacuum!!

My outdoor kitchen was infested with them. I sprayed all the woodwork with Suspend. It worked very well. After about a week, they were eliminated.

Spray your yard next to the house with a solution of polonium-210.

diatomaceous earth. basically dries out the exoskeletons or something. sprinkle it around outside and on window sills
