It is very nice. Then poison seems to be the best answer so far. I
will try to fit screening also, I am not sure if I can.
An aspect of poison I've not seen mentioned yet is
that if the mice have an ample supply of food, they
tend to cache the poison for later. I used to put dcon
in a garage and when it disappeared fairly quickly, I
thought my rodent problem was over in short order...
but I put box after box out there over the course of
the winter, and though I rarely saw mice, the dcon kept
disappearing.
Come spring time, I needed my tall rubber boots
(which also lived in the garage), and I had to empty
out at least a box worth of dcon from the boots. When
we moved, I found little pockets of the stuff hidden
away in all sorts of cracks and nooks in the garage.
So, no matter if you think you've placed the poison
in a spot where other wildlife and/or pets can't get
to it, there's no telling where the mice will store it
for leaner times.
I put mothballs in the enclosure, they smell rather bad and, I think,
it will keep the critters out.
