These things were drivinhg me nuts. I took drastic measures but it's worked so far.

1) Let you plants dry out. Cover toilets, drains, dry off sinks, etc. LEAVE NO WATER.
2) Get yourself a mask some latex gloves a rag and a can of Raid Ant & Roach Killer.
3) Take your plants, sausers and coasters outside.
4) Put your gloves and mask on.
6) Spray your coasters, sausers, plants, soils & pots - tops, bottoms, inside & out with Raid so that you get all areas & leave everything outside overnight or longer if you can.
7) Spray all your outside plants as well if you have the same problem, especially in the area where you are spraying your house plants so they don't spread.
8) Open some windows throughout the house & turn your ceiling fans or kitchen fan on
9) Spray your rag with Raid outside, go back inside, wipe the surfaces with your Raid rag in the area where your plants sit (cover the area like you would when wiping a counter off, not heavy like dusting. It doesn't need to be soaked). Wipe off the excess with a dry rag.
10) Go back outside before you take off your mask & leave your rags, mask & gloves outside & leave your house for the day. Leave some ventilation in your home that night.
11) When your plants no longer reek of Raid bring them back inside.

Day one a few were still flying around, maybe newly hatched. Day 2 I killed a couple more. Yesterday I saw one. Today none.
