Don't waste your time with those insect bombs, they don't really get into tight spots very
well and they can be messy. You will need to wash bench tops, cupboards ect afterwards and they don't really do a very good job for things like ants.
Although it may take you longer, you are much better off buying a good quality surface spray. Use one of those thin long tubes, that attach to the nozzle, this will allow you to get into tight
places. But before you start, be aware of any electrical wiring or other hazards.
Spray it into any gap in the roof area, try and do the whole roof. it may pay to drill some holes in out of sight
places, just big enough to allow you to fit the tube in.
Also see if you are able to get some into the walls, between cupboards etc.
For the outside, do a search on the net, there are various
home made solutions that may work. depending on weather, liquid or powder or even both. place it around all contact points. It may also help to spray a good quality surface spray around the underside of the van, around the top of stabilizer legs etc. You would need to do this on a regular basis, because the chemical will break down a lot faster.
There used to be a product that was red liquid, it was excellent stuff and worked really
well. I'm not sure if it is still available or not, someone else may remember the name of it and if you can still buy it.
Instead of
parking the van on grass at
home, are you able to put a slab where each wheel would sit and under any stabilizer legs? This would allow you to spot them a little easier as
well as form an unbroken barrier.

From memory the red liquid may have been a product called "Antex"
It was a sticky very sweet syrup and therefore created risk where
young children were around
It was taken off the list due to one of the ingredients being Thalium which is a cumulative poison, among other things it caused hair loss and other nasty things.
