Was in same situation as you. I solved it about a year ago by getting bubble pack (small bubbles) at Walmart.
Comes in a roll about a foot wide and 25 feet long. I cut the roll in half so about 6 inches wide by 50 feet.
Stuffed it under the vinyl siding beginning about 10 feet outdoors from lanai, then continuing inside entire lanai where it's sided, to 10 feet past the other side.

SUCCESS!

By the way, they seem to be territorial, so you may find that an original one has somehow found his way back in. It should stop.
