LOL, actually I was more or less spitballing solutions. First was using an infrared signal to get an orbital strike to take out the bugs though the message would ned to be aimed right at the ship. Then we figured sending a phsychic pulse through their hive mind though the equipment needed runs on electricity. Finally we came up on the fusion battery bomb. The IR relay will still work to get help, though it will not be as much use as the battery bomb
