I unfortunately had that type of problem for awhile with my house after construction was completed. I just didn't get around to closing up the place like I should have. I had mice, but I don't know what exactly you might have. They would start a quick paced scratching sound in the middle of the night, and wake me up with it. I completely closed up all the places where they could get in by making wood frames with quarter inch mesh to cover mostly the crawl spaces and a couple of other places. I did that everyplace I thought they could get in and didn't leave even the smallest crack where they could enter or exit. Just before I finished, I bought some rat/mouse bait packets from H.D. - the ones with the blue granules. I placed about 12 or 15 along the bases of the stem walls and up on the base plates. Right after that I didn't hear any scratching & haven't since. I did put some more bait a couple of weeks afterwards for good measure. When I've been under the house later on I've found several dead, dried mice, but there was no odor actually.
