Hi Khaleesi,

I had the same problem with wee mousies coming into the house and having square dancing parties. I live in a woodsy area, so everyone gets the problem from time to time.

What worked very very well for me was Copper Mesh Wire. You get it on a large roll.....then stuff it up under the outside areas where the clapboards, shingles, etc. meet the foundation sill. Be generous with the amount of copper mesh. The mice do not chew through this, they did chew through the steel wool I'd used previously. After you have the mesh securely shoved in there, get some of that "swelling" foam to seal it in, otherwise, in a couple of years, it will start to degrade and fall out.....but this has literally stopped all mice from coming into the home via my basement sill areas.

Here's a link to the place I got mine from, it was $42.00 for a 100 ft. roll (that was 5 yrs. ago, so it might be more now), it's called "Stuf-Fit Copper Mesh Wool" find the shop at: http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com

Hope this helps......I think it might work well in the spaces around tubing, piping etc. to fill those gaps as well, to prevent entry. Check the dryer inside floor, mice like to get in there, then when they die, it's a nightmare with the smell.....yikes.

~peace & love
