According to my calculations based on mouse skull size, 1/4" should
keep out all but the very young, very strong (enough to deform the
wire) or very smart (enough to find an irregularity if there is one)
mice.

But I see no conceivable way any of them could wiggle through 1/8".

Heck, around here, The rats and even the mice carry wire cutters. ^_^

As one who has had mice...I assure you they can get through almost
anything. Even if the hole is seemingly too small to get through, they
will gnaw or force it open if they want to get in.

The best way is to /not/ have any holes at all that could draw their
attention. If there is not a hole, they may not smell potential food inside.

BTW: I think I might have used fine steel wool to plug the holes I had
prior to the use of foam.
