Best way to get rid of bugs?

My bedroom/basement has become a bug paradise. I can't get rid of them! I find 5 spiders in 2 days, a few carpet beetles, and this morning I've found a gnat. Any & all solutions are accepted. Thank you!

    Some soapy water in the sink will keep the gnat from laying eggs in the drain and it will drown the gnat when it goes to the water.

    The carpet beetles can be zapped with a vacuum cleaner and their fuzzy larvae might be around the baseboards. Can be in pet food if you have any.

    Spiders eat bugs. Killing the bugs will make them leave.

    Glue traps made for spiders along the baseboards will trap spiders. They can be zapped with the vacuum too.
