so long story short its been 1 year since ive moved into a new home and its a nice house. the basement is completely finished enough to be there and not feel like its a basement(except for the low sun light). my mom had to move in with us for the year and shes moving out which means i have a room for my man cave(which is in the basement right now) over the months my family just stores alot of stuff in the basement and it is rarely cleaned i do whatever i can to keep my party of the basement clean(and it really is clean). when i move to the room i am gonna clean the entire basement and put it the way it was when we bought the house. 

      ive noticed that there are alot of bugs in the basement(only 2 types) recently there have been alot of baby cockroaches and these 6 legged black bug things that look like roaches but are much darker and are the same size. so the question is how do i get rid of all of them completely because they were not there when we first moved in and the basement is completely sealed off(from windows to vents) so do you guys have a suggestion

Turns out its not that dark since dem robots are filled with lights, i waved hi to the Russians on the space station, turns out all those stories about space finding humans instead of the other way around is true(soviet Russia joke). They threw me some Heineken beer and I've been sitting staring at the people of this forum and earth since.

Shouldn't Alfred be cleaning the place up?

I'd remove everything from the basement first and clean it up until you're left with just the bare floor and walls. Bugs like to sit in objects and be surrounded by things like dust and stuff. After that you could try to locate if there is a "source" in a wall of floor and plug that up.

Be sure there are no sources of food (this includes things like cardboard) or water, have a professional come in to bait and spray. You may need numerous applications one to two weeks apart to get rid of them all. The store bought "gas bombs" do little to reduce populations, they simple relocate (possibly in the main area of your house).

They have laid eggs somewhere down there, probably best to get a pro in, but you could try cleaning every inch of the furniture and washing all fabrics, if there is a mattress down there throw it out, then set off one of the bug bomb things.

 

Once you do get them out, make sure you don't invite anymore back in by leaving any food lying about.
