We had issues with mice getting in the house. Rather than put down poison, we stuffed the small holes where the siding meets the foundation with steel wool. We haven’t had any issues since. The mice don’t chew through it. Bonus, the snake that had taken up residence outside our front door found another place to live.

I did this too but was recommended to switch to copper wool/mesh.

It's a little pricier, but it doesn't degrade as much as steel and is still unpleasant for mice even after oxidizing.
