Like it’s their food. Just poison the supplies and they die out. Of course I don’t think it’ll take much, and we humans should be fine with it. It just makes too much sense

Ok, but how would this pill would work? The pill would have to deliver into your body something that can kill insects in tiny amounts of blood without being toxic to us at all. You seem to think it’s trivially easy find such a compound which is not at all correct. Also, what’s the point? We already have effective means of eliminating bed bugs and lice.
