At one of our properties we have experienced a mouse problem. After catching several we called in the COuncil Pest control who suggested a simple method to stop the pests getting into the house in the first place.
The main two wasy in which mice enter a propertyare firstly through holes and gaps round pipes whcih can simply be filled with expanding foam, and secondly through air bricks. Covering the air bricks with fine meshing is a very simple solution.
You can see below a picture of how I covered the ones on our property. I bought some fencing mesh from Homebase and cut it into strips with tin snips. Then secured this over the air bricks using 6 screws, into drilled and plugged holes.
I put a washer behind each screw so that the head was larger than the mesh, thus trapping it tightly against the wall.
