BS. A mouse canNOT fit through a 1/4" hole.


You seem to have not read the rest of my reply:


Obviously I *did* read all of it, since I responded to *both*
pieces of bad advice; apparently you didn't everything I wrote.


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


Possibly they can chew through the wires. More likely, they'll
look for something easier, somewhere else.

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.


You're just a fountain of bad advice today. Mice will chew
through that stuff in seconds. If you really want to stuff a
crevice with something to keep mice out, use steel wool.



I already suggested steel wool on another response.


Not in this post, you didn't.

Twice now you've failed to read.


Ummm.... it's not me that's failing to read.
