When I lived in Davis, I would have invasions on a regular basis. I kept a huge supply of 409. I found that it wiped out the pheromone trail that led them in. However, where we live now has a regular exterminator that is provided for us. I had a long talk with him about the product he uses since we have a toddler. It is purely organic, and based on wintergreen oil. The trick is to make a sealed circle around the base of the house, and hit any particular trouble spots. I was skeptical, at first, but when he came while we were mid-invasion, we found that it did the trick. My 409 (NOT very toddler friendly) only kept them at bay, but his spray stopped it all together.
