Substitute for Dursban?

I used to go down to Home Depot and get one of those scary little brown bottles of Dursban, bring it home, dilute with a little water, and spray the perimeter of my house. This took care of bugs. Now I'm finding to get that result, I must hire a professional. I can no longer do it myself. Apparently Dursban has been legally prohibited for retail sale. Now when I go to Home Depot, all I see are powders and spray bottles, for either ants or wasps. I've got some serious creepy crawly things around my house. Any suggestions?
