I'd also strongly recommend you ask whether you should, before worrying about being itchy. Taking something out of the food chain can have unintended consequences. They're tiny but you'd be amazed how much of their biomass supports birds and fish. The world is already unbalanced enough without taking things out of the house of cards willy nilly.
I think i've read it may be possible to just remove the highest offending species, but it still needs to be closely monitored.

Curtains are in the house, and are getting hot. You would need to hang curtains outside.
