Default Bug bomb placement

My 1600-sq-foot house is "I"-shaped.

At the top of the "I" is the kitchen
At the bottom of the "I" are bedrooms and a bathroom
In the middle of the "I" is a living-room, a den, a bathroom and a hallway.

I have 3 cans of Hot Shot No-Mess! Fogger3 bug-bombs. (According to the label, each can covers 2,000 cu. ft. (equal to a room measuring 15 ft x 15 ft x 8 ft).

Where do I place each can so all of the rooms get bug-bombed?

Depends on where the doors are. I'd try to catch the living room and
den with one and let the fumes soak into the hallway and bathroom.
Another just outside the bedrooms, the third in or near the kitchen.

If one room is heavily infested, I'd pit the bomb in or just outside the
doorway of that room.

I have Indian Meal Moths.

Most of the moths are in the kitchen so I've already thrown out all of the packages of flour, cereal, pasta, cake mixes and other items.

IN THE KITCHEN, I'll put some sticky moth traps (with pheromone) in the cupboards to attract and kill the male moths, thereby stopping future breeding. I'll also spray CB-80 insecticide (which pyrethrum) to kill the moth larvae in cracks and crevices.

IN THE OTHER ROOMS, I'll use the bug-bombs to kill any moths that have spread plus other insects (i.e., cockroaches, ants, crickets, spiders, silverfish, etc).

Are any of these pest in your attic?

I live in a condo so I don't have a real "attic" ; I have a crawl-space.

I don't know if it's pest-ridden (I'm afraid to look).
