Insecticide will slow them down, but they are eating other bugs.

Jeepers, why did I suggest packaging stuff to protect it from things like

They found a good place to hid and did. Likely they were there but
now there are more places to hide and maybe other bugs to eat so
they are being fruitful, multiplying and also making a mess.
