Well.
Alright, here's how it goes.
Lots of spider webs, completely destroyed, pillaged and removed.
Next up, roachtraps and ant-killers. Kill on site and bring back to poison.
After that, fly motels in every nook and cranny.
I have gotten rid of all cockroaches, spiders, ants and flies.
I have about a jillion dust mites and fleas taking over. Perhaps I disrupted one ecosystem and made another more convenient. What in motherfuck's sake do I do to annihilate these bastards? They go in-between the bathroom tiles and you can't do jacksheeot to obliterate them.
Help-help. I have a pet lizard; so I can't fumigate with anything remotely hardcore.

Try using something powerful to clean the tiled surfaces, like ammonia or bleach. Or spray Raid into the cracks between the tiles maybe.

Godammit.
Don’t try cleaning while on a hallucinogen. Har har.
No idea, dude. Google it.

One word: fire
There's a remedy I heard while I lived in Texas. Drink a 6-pack of beer. Then pee on the bugs.
That's it.

They are barely macroscopic. And I have bad aim.
I can't even take a shit, comfortably, because I'm worried about them hopping on me. I already tried lighting an anti-insect whatever candle and keeping it lit in there for a few hours. Not get signal. Nothing in the store is used to remedy this either, only what I've gotten rid of so far.
They also attack the lizard's aspen bedding.

Are these those little red mites that make you look like a bloody mess if you stamp the shit out of them? They dominate our outside rock landscaping... and a coworkers desk was recently flooded w/ them (he's got a corner desk near an apparently non-sealed window).

You can't actually see the mites, they are a lot smaller than those red dudes, if you can believe it. The fleas you can barely see. Edit: They aren't typical animal fleas either.
I refuse to let these puny chitin-based organism win. I can't use bug bombs.
Buy a billion tiny lances. I hear they do well against chitin.

Update.
I filled a corncob pipe with massive amounts of wormwood. I closed the bathroom door and proceeded to quote George W. on roosting tarr'rists.
I did this three times. Then I left, with the door closed.
I am partially blind, today, but I can see well enough that smoke -- In particular, ignited ethnobotanical tea, is good at eradicating insects and other chitinous beings.

Something I've found for roaches that works pretty well... When your peanutbutter jars are down to about 1/10th, just leave the lid off and leave them outside.
They fill up with roaches. For whatever reason they can't get out and they just die in the peanutbutter. Then pop the cap back on when it gets full and toss it.
My only issues is the birds start getting wise and eat the roaches... Sometimes I go out back to what looks like a roach civil war battleground. Oh the roachamity...

I am done with those bastards.
Next up will be kinetoplastida vectored tsetses and cryptosporidium. I wear a hazmat suit under my brand name clothing.
