Probably with the same products you'd use for roaches. Go to the
store and read the labels of insecticide. They should say what all it
will kill and control.

This was discussed August 16. Getting rid of damp areas will discourage
them. Dessicating powder will stick to them and dry them to death. You
use a bulb to blow the powder in to cracks where they may hide.
Diatomaceous earth is a favorite. Silica gel is another. Borax can
work, too.
