The US obsession with killing insects is profoundly disturbing. Insect video searches always come up with dozens of 'pest' references from the US.
Cockroaches, bed bugs fair enough. But for the sake of tidiness or prejudice, seriously no.
I just watched a video about bugs which feed on ash trees. Not harmful they said but "unsightly if they sun themselves near your pool".
First solution was "cut down your ash trees".
I made a rapid exit.
