Ok, I could go to Lowes, Chinamart, or Homiedepot, but before I go look at a bizillion bugs killing liquids or powders I thought you all might have a favorite bug killer in mind. If u could, please list ur favorite basement bug killer. Note basement is 1500 sq. ft, unfinished, open , no food down there, just lawn mower stuff and junk. thanks.

Sounds like a damp basement. If you can dry the air out most of the bugs will go away.

stay with the liquids, powders are messy and will become airbourne-don't want to keep breathing it in. I think an all pourpose house killer will work-check out the inert ingredients. yep, if damp basement a dehumidifer might help. you can also get got good info ""ask jeeves""

Boric acid is great to spread around the edges of the house

I use a couple foggers about once a month, I use the kind that are safe to use around open flames, since we have a gas water heater. Let me know if this is of interest, I can get you the brand.
This time of year we get a millon crickets down in the basement

You carry a lawn mower down to the basement? Hope it's not a tractor mower
