I have seen them in my attic and some in my living space. I also have a gold fish a small dog and 2 young kittens.
Unfortunately, there is no way to make your home any less "attractive" to leaf footed bugs because they may come indoors to wait out the winter. However, a preventative or remedial spraying of the attic and outside of the home would help kill any that may enter or try to enter. Alpine WSG is an excellent insecticide that can be used inside your home including the attic as well as outside with minimal toxicity. You can spray the exterior of your home paying close attension to windows, doors, and cracks and crevices.
