I'm just wondering is there an insect repelling spell out there? Just normal insects cockroach's, ants, flies that sort of thing. I'm curious is there's a spell you can put on a room to keep all those critters out of the room so you don't have a cockroach crawling through your food?

maybe.

The game doesn't cover a lot fo mundane spells that get described in fluff all the time.... Like the spell a mage used to light his cigarette in one piece of fiction.

If you want a spell with no game world (mechanical) consequences, go for it. 
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

Get a spirit with the fear power? Or maybe a more powerful version of sanitize.

I'm pretty sure Kincaid is using Ignite (p. 293 SR5) to light his cigarettes.

As for a spell to resist insects, sure. Bug Zapper is a version of Mana Barrier that's tailored to insect spirits, so I don't see any issue with creating a version of Physical Barrier that's tailored to regular insects. You could just use Physical Barrier with a low Force, since the insects wouldn't be strong enough to overcome it. Or if you didn't want to be casting and recasting all the time, create an insect-specific version of Physical Barrier. I'd make it the same spell, maybe knocking 1 or 2 off the Drain.

What about a bound spirit with the single service "keep insects out of my kitchen"?
Of those that might keep your squatter/street lifestyle harassed too but that's just a bonus!

That's why Fireball spells exist. With enough fire, there will be no insects.

F1 powerball.
Everyone can resist that damage, but probably not ant. :P

If your furniture can't handle a F1 powerball, STOP SHOPPING AT IKEA!!!

Seriously, you get what you pay for. By cheap, get cheap :P

(IE: if your lifestyle is that low, you have other problems then ants in the pantry)
