Sealing cracks is the best first step.
Castile soap is the only non-chemical worth a damn, but it doesn't work for everything and it's better for smaller applications like gardens. Most of the home defense sprays work decent enough, but they're rarely one and done. Bugs out here aren't much of a thing, so we don't bother treating at all. Back east, we found that paying someone was waaaay more effective.
Note that even though the really bad shit was outlawed commercially, the active ingredients in what remains on the market are still considered bad for humans.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
