Confine them when you are gone, maybe to the kitchen , and try to keep them in sight when you are with them. With 5 I know that will be hard and now they are probably marking to mask each others scents. I have enough with just 2 to watch. I admire those of you who can handle more!

Kitchen or laundry room? The smaller the area, the better the chances that they will not poop there. I have 4 adult girls that have full run of the house but they do very, very well. The others stay in the kitchen on linolium behind a baby gate when I am not home. As far as crating goes, I currently have 10 dachshunds in my house including the two babies I am keeping from my last litter and the new little boy I just got, :0) and I don't crate any of mine.

It may be too late but I think they definitely need to be crated. That is the only way you can control them and what they are doing. Sorry I don't have anything more to help you but if they are enclosed somewhere the mess will at least be confined. Are they 4 years old and 15 years old?
