The CB PCO Fogger with Pyrethrins will kill the exposed gnats, but it will most likely have no effect on their eggs. The eggs are usually protected because of their hard shell and because they are placed into voids, cracks, crevices, and other protected areas where the fogger is unlikely to penetrate. If you suspect that the gnats are breeding and laying eggs indoors, you should try to find the area where they are depositing their eggs. Depending on the type of gnat you are dealing with, they could be developing in drains, soil in potted plants, organic buildup in the bottom of trash cans, debris under appliances, etc. In most cases, a thorough cleaning of the infested area is needed.
The chemical you could use is Bifen IT, it has over 75 different insects on the label so it's a good general insecticide. You can spray where you have seen the most activity and it will provide a contact kill that will affect their nervous system and they can spread it throughout the hive. It is safe to use indoors and outdoors. You will mix at 1 oz per gallon of water and spray over 1000 sq ft. It is pet and child-safe as long as you are not treating while they are present and then for at least 2 hours after application to allow it to dry.
Another option would be to use Tempo 1% Dust, it will kill bees that contact the product and those they contact may also be killed by grooming each other and spreading it.
Yes, you can use FMC Pyrethrin Fogger in your bedroom, however, it is always recommended to wash any clothing that has come in contact with the fog after dispensing. If the clothes don't need to be treated with the product, you can bag the clothes and seal them off before using the fogger in desired areas.
The Pyrethrin Fogger is not labeled to be used inside of attics but you may consider the Pro-Control Plus Total Release instead. Otherwise, if you can dust the entry point that the wasps are entering through you can dust it directly with Delta Dust Insecticide. The dust will leave a residual that they will take back with them & share with other wasps they come in contact with
Mites generally do not bite people, so without a proper ID of what may be biting you it is hard to recommend a product that will work. You may consider using Steri-Fab Insecticide. It is labeled for mites, kills on contact & can be used on different frabics. You may also considering drying your sheets in high heat as high heat will kill any insects that may be on surfaces. We would also try putting down glue boards where you see/find the most activity to try to capture these pests. If you can get a clear enough picture we can try to idenfity them. Otherwise, if they are too small or too unclear to take a picture of, you may take samples to your local extension office

One of our roach control kits would be recommended for roach control. These professional kits includes non-staining, low odor concentrated insecticide for spraying the outside perimeter of the home and inside underneath appliances, behind cabinets, under toilets and sinks, etc. You'll also get Roach Bait Gel to help get rid of those roaches that like to hide. Baits can be applied up high in the kitchen in the corner of cabinets and in cracks and crevices in kitchens and bathrooms. The bait contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Finally, an Insect Growth Regulator is offered which will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals. The insecticide must be applied with a 1 gallon pump sprayer.
Here is a link to a great article that really goes into depth in explaining a roach control program:

Infested furniture and carpeting should be thoroughly steam cleaned and vacuumed. You can spray your furniture with Sterifab to get rid of any lingering insects.

You can also follow up with a dusting of Cimexa dust to help eliminate these pests in carpet and in cracks and crevices around the home.

Per the label (page 2), a room that's 5 ft x 5 ft or smaller will need to remain open and allow the fog to enter from other rooms, if this is the case then all ignition sources and electrical appliances that cycle off and on will need to be turned off.
Pyrethrin Fogger will only kill moths and other insects that are out in the open at the time you set them off. The fog will not get into air vents and we do not have anything that you can use in that area. It might be best to contact a company to come out and clean the ducts if you suspect the moths are infesting that area.
The Pyrethrin Fogger label states the following: Turn off ALL ignition sources such as pilot lights (shut off gas valves), other open flames or running electrical appliances that cycle off and on (i.e. refrigerators, thermostats, etc)
