If you want something absolutely nontoxic, putting pepper (black, white,
or cayenne) or cinnamon around their trails will leave them confused, and
they will leave. You can then vacuum up the pepper or cinnamon

We used the cinnamon idea quite successfully for years of medieval camping
(canvas tent, no floor) and it kept out most critters while making the tent
smell good. You can use the stuff from the dollar store.
