Field Mice Attack
We have the same problem every fall here too, maybe the mice are feeling older, it seems that every fall they've had enough of camping outside and think of me as a wonderfull host.
Luckily I am blessed with a Jack Russell terrier who thinks it's great hunting the little critters. He even takes it upon himself to keep our little patch of the world as free from squirrells and chipmunks as possible. With the exception of one rather tenacious chipmunk who lives in the landsape rocks out by the pool, he has mostly established about a 75' wide critter-free zone. Now if I could just get him to spend a little more time in the shop, and a little less time curled up by the fire....
Seriously, use the ultra-sonic devices, they work very well and take no attending to like traps or poisons do.
Best of luck.

I don't know about Yard Weasels or Bears, but my Jack Russell is certainly more entertaining than DirectTV is.
Yesterday was physics day, we determined that it is far easier for a Jack Russell to climb a tree than to come back down. Momentum, mass and speed can negate gravity to at least a branch at the height of 8'. Considering he is about 18" at the shgoulder this is quite an achievement, it's also a long way back down for the little fellow.
I think he can do better, and the wife thinks that I should KNOW better, oh well, we're in trouble again. At least he likes riding with me, the Kubota, the truck and the TLB are all on the approved list as far as he's concerned.
Best of luck.

I was told by a local contractor doing some work on my cottage that there is only one fool-proof way to stop mice chewing spray foam insulation.
Powdered hot peppers, Oleoresin Capsicum-a pure derivative of cayenne pepper, the active ingredient in Pepper Spray works best, but be careful with it.
He claims if this stuff is CAREFULLY sprayed on the foam before it dries it soaks right in and is sealed in there, just waiting for some hungry mouse to taste test it later.
I guess they do their imitation of Speedy Gonzales after they get a mouthful of that stuff.
Best of luck.
