Should they be place against the edge of the house to attract the ants easier to the station or should they be placed a short distance away so you are not bringing ants close to your home. If the second is better then wouldn't the ants have a harder time finding the bait stations since the house is where they are trying to get to. Keep in mind I currently have ants, on a small scale, in my home.
If you already have ants coming into your home you will want to put some stations near the current activity for the ants to quickly find the bait. Putting stations near your home will not necessarily draw more ants to the house from the yard, but spacing the stations out across your property can be beneficial to get ant mounds in other areas of the yard you may not see. There is not a set placement you have to follow to get control over the ant populations in your yard with these stations.
