Culling dubia roaches

I suspect my dubia roach colony of being infested with pinworms due to one of my geckos unfortunately passing away at the start of the year from not being diagnosed early enough (because the vet messed up the fecal results...) and at least one showing the exact same symptoms now, with the roaches being the only thing they had in common.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that I can't treat the roaches for it (?) so basically I'm wondering what would be the best way to cull an entire colony so I can disinfect the tub and start over. Unless anyone has any other good ideas, I was thinking of just freezing them in batches but it'll be a massive pain lol (freezer is tiny)

Freezer or something like Diatomaceous earth. I usually cull my excess males by putting them in the freezer for about an hour or over night to make sure they are dead.
