They're there for a reason, address the cause, not the effect.
You need to trap them until they're gone. While you're trapping, invest some time into inspecting and caulking. Use chicken wire for larger openings (under porches, crawlspaces.) Cover every single possible point of entry.
Mice are cute, but your healthy family's cuter. They can lead to bigger issues than inconvenient droppings: They like chewing. Wires.

I only had one mouse that I needed to take care off. I caught him using this:

It took the mouse around 20 minutes to fall for it. I walked to the nearest park and dumped him there. Never saw him again, so I guess IT WORKED!~

Yes, sadly, he died later. I actually teared up :'(. We have a new girl, named Willi. She's a Robo dwarf hamster...wicked cute! And secure in her cage!

And it's cuuuuuute! If you keep the cage clean it's not smelly at all. Once a week does it.
Edit: LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
