Bugs a crew precisely dealt with (6-8)

I believe the answer is:

creepy-crawlies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dealt with' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'bugs a crew precisely' is the wordplay.
'bugs' indicates anagramming the letters (messes up (as a computer bug)).
'a'+'crew'+'precisely'='acrewprecisely'
'acrewprecisely' anagrammed gives 'CREEPY-CRAWLIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
