Field Mice Attack
I found where they were coming in my house last fall too.
Seems it took them 3 years to figure out how to get in, then they told all their buddies. It took me 6 months fo find out where and how. The little buggers figured out if they crawl up the bottom opening of the corner channel of my viynle sidding they can get into the sofit, from there they have full range of the attic, from there they crawl down the walls and come thru the openings I left on purpose at the bottom of the walls. A bit of foam and whala No field mice for the last 7 months (again, till the next genious moose comes along.

I foamed a gap to the outside in our unfinished basement that was used by mice to enter the house. Within a week they chewed a perfectly round hole in the foam and were coming in again. Blocking it with a small piece of wood fixed that problem.

Steel wool works great. Little buggers won't touch it at all. It may rust but it's about the easiest thing for sealing some openings but not around electrical wiring.

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.

I wouldn't advise using steel wool in areas that may get wet due to rust problems, but they do sell bronze and copper wool that won't rust. We stuffed bronze wool behind one of our gutters where some bats were roosting and it's held up fine with all the rain.
