Lavon The remedy that I like (and learned about here!) is mint oil or extract. Put some on a cotton ball and run along your baseboards, window and door sills, anywhere the little critters get into the house. I also run it around the edge of ferrets' cage and their food mat in the kitchen. At first, I found I had to reapply every few days, but once the problem was under control, once every 2-3 weeks was enough to keep them away. Good luck!
