Put some 20 Mule Team Borax in a big salt shaker and sprinkle it all around the edges of the shop. That will get rid of all bugs!

Horseart's idea, or diatomaceous earth on the floor would help keep population down.

I have a friend who uses Diatomaceous earth (FOOD grade only)...gives it to her dogs (and horses) and sprinkles it in her dog beds and around the edges of all the rooms in the house. She never has bugs of any kind and her dogs never have fleas, but I am afraid of anything that says use surgeon's gloves to handle it. I sprinkle Borax around the house and in my dog beds and I don't have any fleas or other bugs either. Diatomaceous Earth is supposed to be good for people too...hmmmmm. I may never know.

Freeze it, then you can shoot it w/o it moving.
I worked on a brown recluse research project when I worked at OU Health Sciences Center.
The researcher has a bunch of them frozen for me to shoot.
(no focus stacking, I was using slide film)
Had an extension tube on the macro lens to get really close up.
Well, one of them wasn’t quite dead yet.
It moved while I was in really close.
Good thing I was wearing brown pants that day!
Someone in the office next to ours got bit under tricep, in the fatty area, where it can do the most damage. Took several sessions of plastic surgery to mend.
