This is your second line of defense. There are many more entry points. The first line of defense should be offense. I keep bait out for them. My camper sets beside a cattle barn almost worse case. I keep a product that I get from tractor supply, Tom Cat bait boxes. Since I’ve had it out my mouse problem has all but disappeared. It took a while but it appears to be working. I also keep them around my motorcycles and tow truck. I haven’t had a problem for 2 years, well except something tries to carry the boxes off. I had to tie them down.

How small of an opening can a mouse get in?



And those were some fat mice.

A LOT fatter then the mice we've been catching in thae attic of our S&B. Most of our 'catches' have been about the size of my thumb plus the tail.



Happy that some of our neighbors North of the border have a long winter to do this kind of fun thing.

Thanks BB. That proves what we already knew, you can’t keep them out.
That’s 7/16 of a inch that mouse went through.
