You can look at Tempo dust and an insecticide duster.

I bought a concentrate jug of Talstar a couple of years ago when I had a massive invasion of Asian Lady Beetles one fall. The stuff has staying power and it knocks the beetles out. It also knocks the wasps out. A little bit goes a long ways. I found out this spring that Talstar is what my bugman treats my house with.....go figure.

I've been using bifen for years. Works really well.
Yup, bifenthrin (a synthetic permethrin) is a powerful and relatively SAFE insecticide.
I mentioned Talstar because you can buy it from Amazon. It has two forms:
I believe it contains about 0.5% bifenthrin in a water-based solution.

Best to bait them early in the season to catch queens if you're lucky. Typically early may in my area.

Yeah, we put them out by march here. It has stopped me from being chased around the yard while mowing.

Never tried it, but I've seen mothballs suggested for spiders,
I use Ortho Home Defense and this stuff is magic. Kind of scary how quickly it kills insects though. Still, does it's job.
