	I had some of those guys try to settle in on my
	house.  The wall-o-flame technique was not an
	option (insurance doesn't cover acts of arson).
	There are chemical sprays that allow you to stand
	off 10+ feet, but I ruled those out (too much $$$).
	I just take a broom and swat down the nest, then 
	run like hell.  Come back later and squash the nest.
	If you bother them enough in their attempts at 
	home-building they will give up and try elsewhere,
	(hopefully a distant elsewhere).  Try to eliminate 
	the nests when they are small since there will be 
	lesser numbers to mount a counter-attack.
