2. Some sort of spray...I forget the make - it's a red can. Leaves a residue that lasts for a few months, even through rain. I normally go round the outside of the building with this, paying attention to door frames and the like, and cracks!
The outbreak was pretty early this year - normally it comes in May, this one was at the end of March. I only had the gel, and it took a couple of weeks from the first sighting to getting rid of them - but it's very effective.

Sounds great but as I said, I have no idea where they're coming from!
