place moth balls at all vents where they can get in.farmers swear by mothballs for mice.read this week,in fact last night the sheets you put in to dry your clothes in the machine will keep them away too.

Now stuffed all possile entrys with stanless steel pan scourers, also from Wilko`s, try chewing that stuff mickey.
The trouble with mice is if they really want to get in they will simply chew through the floor/wall, any point they want to.
Horrible little things and they make me feel sick and dirty!

our van is kept in a field all yr round, near our horses so mice are allways about but never had them in van now if moth balls do work i didnt know but i put moth balls in van last yr when we got it as me mother swears by them in her wardrobe to stop moths eating her clothes!! bless her, so im now sat here thinking what a wonderfull lady she is as shes stopped our van getting mice too, lol
