Downy sheets. Several boaters around here have this issue with

"Old school" mothballs used to work pretty effectively, but I think the

Don't know about mice, but about every five years, skunks take up
residence under the back shed; I toss in a dozen mothballs and they
relocate under the neighbour's shed who then calls in the wildlife
control guy two doors further along.
