Wink aviary mice

All the above suggestions would, and could work, but ultimately the nice will always return because there's food there. What you really need to do is seal the aviary so that they can not get in. If their getting in from the top, change or add a smaller mesh wire (1/2 " square) that they can't get through. If their gaining access from the bottom, get some flat tin or other flat metal like 'flashing'. It will need to go into the ground at least 5 or 6 inches,(deeper if you can) below the bottom of the aviary, to prevent them from digging underneath. The flashing should surround the base of the aviary to the height of at least 8 or 10 inches. Rodents can not climb up the smooth surface. Unless you "close the door", you will always have unwanted "guests" that you will have to deal with.
