There are some specific insects that Mohammed s.a.w.s. warned us to not kill them.But you should also not kill other insects brother,you should take them out of your home but not kill them.

[OsMaN_93]

If these insects are harmful, they may be killed with insecticides, but not with fire. The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There are five pests that may be killed whether one is in ihraam or not: rats, scorpions, crows, kites [a hawk-like bird], and mad dogs.” (Reported by Muslim, 2071). Another report adds a sixth, snakes.

Thus the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that they are harmful pests, and that they are unlike other animals which do not do harm, and so he told us to kill them whether we are in ihraam or not. If other creatures, such as ants or cockroaches or dung-beetles, cause harm, they may also be killed with insecticides, but not with fire. And Allaah knows best.

Any insect which causes harm may be killed (Mufti AK Hoosen of cii on the killing of mosquitoes etc).

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) who said the messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Whoever kills a domestic lizard with the first blow will have one hundred good deeds written for him, and if on the second less than that, and if on the third less than that.' [Muslim 8547]

I think you should try to remove them from your home forst and then if it fails, you can kill them. Its what I know.

But the good anwers are above.
