One or more snakes is the best solution :-) Seriously, at rural sites where
there are a lot of black snakes around this area you never have problems
with mice. Occasionally you'll find a snakeskin wrapped around a sharp
object (apparently they shed their old skin by getting it snagged on
something intentionally), but that's a much lesser evil than mice. I hate
mice. They're evil.
Second best is mothballs. They don't like 'em and will stay away.
Sealing up possible entry points is important too. I like using foil tape;
I've never seen them chew through it probably because they don't realize
it's not just part of the rest of the metal cabinet. For openings that must
remain open (such as for ventilation), cover with fine wire mesh.
