Default Can mice get thru 1/4" hardware cloth?

I assure you they will easily be able to get through that...

even if the holes are small they will easily expand the size and come

through.



I had a mouse problem a while back with my own house and used that

expandable foam insulation to fill the holes. Never had a mouse again.


I used the same stuff to plug up holes in concrete block where pipes used to run. 8" thick by 8x8". Mouse hole appeared almost instantly in all of them.

Yes, considering they can gnaw through wood and even concrete, that
expandable foam would be very easy to gnaw through. In my situation I
was lucky in that once there were no visible holes anywhere they left me
alone. In my neighborhood, there must have been plenty of other easy to
access areas.
