With kids in the house, it's hard to know/decide what chemical to use.
We've not had them in the house, but have had them in the yard a bit.
Instead of chemicals, we use diatomaceous earth. It's essentially ground up crustacean shells. Here's a link that has more info:

Also, wikipedia has an entry:
