Diatomaceous earth along the baseboards, in corners etc. can be rather effective. Just avoid breathing it in. It can turn somewhat like cement in the lungs. NOT healthy. There’s a food grade version, BTW. It’s the microscopic shells of ocean diatoms from eons ago. It scratches the exoskeletons of insects and they die from drying out.

Diatomaceous earth

ALWAYS use food grade DE around the house, yourself, pets, etc. and not the kind for pools.
