Tight skirting with NO holes is the key, you may need to make a trench and put the bottom of the skirt in the trench and fill with gravel. That will not be a 100% stop but it will make a difference.

I've have good results using the big jug of indoor/outdoor 9 month insect killer. Simply spray the backside of the skirting and the ground around the perimeter underneath. If you have a pump-up garden sprayer you can dedicate to this use, it will save your trigger finger.
