Things are all over my porches and stain like hell if they die on the porches. Is there anything I can put around the bottom edge of the porch to keep them off?

There is little you can do easily apart from daily clearing of the critters from the porches. They're simply wandering around looking for whatever they look for and simply run out of steam and die.

Incidentally, did you know you cannot run through a campground, you can only ran?

Because its past tents...

...i'll let myself out...

I believe in the Lafayette area they seem to be congregating and about to make their tents so probably are close to being done crawling around. BT is the only thing I know of that controls then and this year they are here by the thousands so I’m squashing them by the hundreds and will pressure wash.

You could apply Bifen IT around your house. I'd say a 10 ft barrier around your house
