Make sure you don't have any leaky pipes. I put boric acid all around the toilet, shower, a bunch blocking the bathroom doorway. But I'm a bachelor, that won't be an option if you have kids and pets, but if you go on vacation you might want to consider that. Also keep your blinds open to let the light in. They can eat newspaper and cardboard, so get rid of any paper you have around especially with glue. When you put the gel out you want to put as small little splotches as you can so it's small enough for them to eat. I think they can eat the glue in the pressboard also, I'm not sure what to do about that. Water traps might help they're cheap to make, I'd try to block any water source with boric acid, use the dehumidifier bags, keep using the gel, and use the water traps, also mix the boric acid with powdered sugar and sprinkle it around where you see them most. You have to kill off about three generations to get rid of them.
