I wanna say an accidental singularity event but dem fuckin cockroaches man...
Seriously tho with ant trails i ended up usually going down the line with fly spray from where theyre from tonwhere theyre going and clean up as soon as theyre dead. Once the trails gone anything else that pokes out of the hole either dies quickly or cant pick up whatever they use to follow each other.

There is a big fat can of bug spray. I'm sorry, I don't know what it's called. But it's made for infestations. You close all the windows and spray it in every room of the house then exit and close the door. You leave the house for a couple hours, and when you come back all the bugs are dead on the floor. Maybe you can find it.

Insecticide in a carpet cleaner.
That just sounds like an overly agressive way to remove yourself from the gene pool.

That's pretty good, but Fluoroantimonic acid is even better!

Kill them with fire.
Again, as for the fuckin roaches.... get a couple of pet frogs? Chickens in the house?

Oh man, we totally tried this way back when we lived in a shithole house in a shithole part of town infested with roaches - fuck what a dump... but how hilariously entertaining it was watching the chicken gleefully run around the kitchen eating every insect he could find! He said all sorts of funny things as he did it, too!
Then one day, he realised he was a rooster and suddenly started to just be a complete dick to everyone all the time. Also, the chicken poops all over the floor were not great. But it was fun for a few weeks there.

Ants don't like mint, grow some where they may have a nest and rub the fresh leaves where they are infiltrating your home. Do a simple test if you don't believe me, I didn't believe it at first either. They won't cross that spot for months. What you do is take some leaves and then rub their trail is, like you are scrubbing with a sponge.
This will result in your place smelling like fresh mint.

That reminds me that spiders don't like cinnamon. You can get cinnamon oil and mix a little in a spray bottle with water to spray around your doors during spider season (fall) to discourage them from building webs right in your doorway.

And if anyone reading this has a cat using their garden as a litter box, citrus peels. My mom tried this, and a former co-worker had a citrus tree (I don't remember what kind) and he said his cats never went near it.
