Or poisoning their spouse.

Spouse or Mouse it was good for either. 
Same for Rat or Cat, or even a Bat, and to that I tip my Hat

I don't have issues with mice getting into the Ghia's while they hibernate in the garage.
However, we store our RV outdoors next to the garage.
We have used Grandpa Gus's rodent repellent pouches for many years with great results, i.e: no mice.
Also store a Geo Tracker outside and use the mouse pouches.
I would highly recommend it for any stored vehicles.
We also spray peppermint oil around the base of the RV cover.
A couple of stray cats have also helped.

| Bitter or not, it still works on mice. |
