Maybe you just need to tidy your house more. Your home is your castle so the last thing you want is a bug invasion. Roaches, ants, silverfish... none of them are welcome guests, so don't treat them as such. The first and most important step in a bug-free home is to make sure you aren't providing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bugs go where there is food. Take away their food and usually they will go away as well. This does require some effort however. It means you must vacuum or sweep crumbs up regularly and keep your counters clean. You should also keep all food tightly closed or sealed. Leaving out fresh fruit can also attract bugs. Trash cans are another buffet for bugs, empty them regularly and spray them out at least once a month.
Might want to cut out on the overuse of capital letters - we're not deaf you know!
Might also be an idea if you tell us exactly what bugs you have specifically found, though not in here - the Bugs Forum is the place for that - assuming that no one else has reported it before you.

So that's where I'm going wrong. I must remember to stop chucking my rubbish on the floor rather than in the bin.
Check your window frames every year as well - rotten wood is a magnet for bugs. Repaint your exterior facings with a good quality all weather paint or varnish.
