After watching some of the recent "bug infestations" on TV, I think that is important to remind that
1) there are more than 100000 species of bugs. Just because you find a bug in your room does not mean that is a bed bug or that you will need to set the house on fire. Some bugs explore houses at fall in a search for good places to hibernate. They are just wild animals, not unlike finding a sparrow at home. If is a green insect, just open the window, invite the nezara to go out, and save yourself the trouble of sleeping in a cocktail of toxics.
2) Some bugs are social or form groups to hibernate. Just because you find 20 bugs in your window or under a bark does not mean that the bugocalypse has started. Repeat the previous procedure.
3) This was a hot year. Expect more hibernating visitors.
4) Some of the bugocalypse cases depicted on TV show common species of plant bugs that don't eat humans.
