If not, don't let the house get messy too often. SDouble check clothes and luggage after traveling. Check used furntire. Vaccume.
And a big fat ewwww.

Actually the overuse of DDT/pesticides is one of the reasons the fuckers are so hard to get rid of, they've been more or less immune to even DDT since the 60s. Nuking them in the dryer over and over is one of the only ways to kill them.
