That was the problem in my old place. They would congregate outside the door to my basement suite. I would try to stomp as many as I could on the way in, because they had a habit of sqeezing beneath the door and ending up dried up in my apartment.

Either way, they aren't that annoying, you just have to make sure to stomp the big ones first, and keep under your fridge clean.
I find them fairly often in the sink and tub. Apparently they go there for moisture but cant get out.

I've accepted the fact I will never permanently be able to get rid of them since they will probably find refuge in my neighbours apartments, but I hope to at least control their numbers so I don't have multiple run ins a day.
