You might want to start by narrowing down what the bugs are. But some general advice: make sure you're not making your kitchen more attractive to these bugs by leaving them food. Make sure your counters and floors are clean and disinfected; try to get everything, even in the cracks next to the fridge where crumbs might have fallen.

Getting rids of bugs is a two step process. You have to get rid of the initial bugs with a non-toxic bug repellent that can be used in the kitchen and around food. You need to make sure you keep the kitchen clean to keep the bugs from returning.

The least toxic thing you can do is put boric acid, a fine white powder, along the cracks and crevaces and the outer walls of your kitchen, and specific places where you have seen the bugs. Vacuum up the bugs you can find, along with some boric acid.
