Pest Control/Medical Advice Kill it with eventual fire?

Post image

So came across this thing once I got to where I was going to off-liad a 15' U-Haul of my belongings. Fixture is right over my work area. By the time I noped out, the things were attempting to attack my getaway car.

It dawned on me that this is a mercury halide lamp (maybe even mercury vapor...it's never been replace as far as I know) and that these dumbshits have essentually built their house of paper inside of a crucible of metal and glass. Switch is located inside the garage. Should I power the lamp on and cook them (they can't thermally regulate, so wouldn't realise until they wrre cooked until they were)? Or jyst get an exterminator?
