Vegetation in the form of bushes, flowers and the like very close to the house invite rodents and bugs. Best to have a barrier all around the house of pea-gravel or river-rock or least a foot wide. Wider is even better. Under the rock apply some material to stop weeds from growing up through the rock. You can edge with bricks or whatever to make a nice presentation.
If you want bushes just make the zone of stone wider and plant the bushes well away from the house itself.
