The hardest working woman I've ever met was unable to eradicate them at her place on Papaya Farms road. For years she had them mostly under control near her house, but finally they over saturated the place.
Dunno, but I suspect the major advantages you guys in Volcano area have are lower temperatures and vegetation less to their liking.
I've found that keeping vegetation away from the house (elevation 700 ft.) makes their distance noise tolerable. I do have three plants right next to the house though, one of which they like-Tahitian gardenia. The other two-night blooming jasmine and common gardenia-they thankfully avoid.
