I wont to spray my house for bugz. I have seen a few and I hate them they make me sick to my stomach nasty *** things. But my question you all is. I wont to spray and I wont to spray all my cabinets w/ dishes and food in them and every other place in my house. But my concern is. As I said I wont to spray where food and dishes go. But my delima is do I wash the cabients out w/ hot water after I've sprayed. Myself I think that defets the purpose cuz then I'm washing off what I just put on. I don't know how to go about this. Never have done it before. So anyone who can give me sound advice is much thanked... Thanks for your time...

Remove all dishes, pans, etc. from cabinets and all food. Spray the chemical, let it dry THOROUGHLY, and then you can refill the cabinets. Washing the chemical off will remove the residual effect.
When you spray, pay particular attention to cabinets that have plumbing as these are the area all bugs are attracted to (for a water source).
And lastly, make sure to use a chemical that is labeled for the specific pest you are trying to control.

before you spray, first seal up all foods so the insecticide can't get in them. Put anyfood items that you can fit into the refrigerator. Make sure everything you seal is completely insect free or you will be defeating your purpose. Throw out anything that has bugs in it. then spray. After spraying, line your cabinents with new drawer lining, and wash your dishes, and wipe down any packages that got sprayed.

Use a disinfectant spray or even bleach.
there is a smoke bomb that pest control people use. you close all the windows & light it. there is no smell but it does kill them. give the pest control people a call or go to your local hardwear store.
if you decide to go down the road of washing the cabinets spray first when wipe clean with hot water, making sure you dont make them too wet because the wood or whatever they are made of will swell up & spoil your cabinets. hope thats ok?

Clear out and bug bomb that s--t. You will probably have to clean your dishes after, but it's better than having bugs walk on them.
