Just wondering what I should do as a homeowner to keep them away from
the house. *Not interested in hiring an exterminator. *Next door
neighbor had them a few years ago and needed exterminator who treated
infestation and set up the stakes with juvenile hormone bait and killed

to keep them away from my house.

Basicly you want to keep wood away from the house,
ie no rotting stumps, logs, discarded 2x4's laying
around near the house.
And keep the house wood dry and out of contact with
the soil.
