How can I kill bugs who have made a home in my house plants?

Saw a big bug in a house plant and I need to repot it but dont want to dig around in that soil.

if you have any warm days left, take it outside now and re-pot it there.
If not, perhaps the garage?
If not, describe the bug to someone at a garden shop, unless you can actually find someone to ask at a DIY store.
Then get an indoor bug killer chemical and spray the dirt, while the plant is in the bathtub.
I’d Do that for up to 3 days, making sure the tub is rinsed right away each time.
Then you can re-pot it in the bathtub without fear of sticking your hand in to a big bug.
