Default How small a gap can a mouse get through?

I found a dead mouse today in a CU and the only entry point I could
find was where the tails entered and even that seemed too small to
let the head through.

You'll be suprised where a mouse can get. :-)


At a guess, a 2p piece sized round hole.


You'd get a rat through that!

I'd guess any hole large enough for a woman's little finger.


That's a good guide but it doesn't have to be a round hole. A mouse's skull
is slightly flattened, broader than it's high. A round pencil hole wouldn't
allow a mouse through but squash it a bit and it would. IYKWIM.
