Nippon is best as it kills the nest. But as a preventative try essential oil of peppermint! Mix about 30 drops in a spray bottle and spray around the areas you don’t want them. Harmless to you and pets too!!  They don’t like it and it also throws them off their scent so they can’t find their way back to the nest - so DON’T use it if you're using Nippon because they need to get back to the nest with the poison!!
