I had local dealer install mesh on my Tundra which has kept the little $ucks out of the cab.
I hate mice..... I mean I want to kill every last one of them

Unfortunately I don't have a clue, but I would bet its less than 1/4"

1/4 is fine. In my professional opinion as a former mouse rancher .
Hell, it happens. I just had my tractor sabotaged. But ain't nothing that justifies glue traps. Nothing. Screen is good. There are some other things as well.
Merry Christmas.

I had always heard that a mouse could get through 1/4"...maybe a small one.1/4 is fine. In my professional opinion as a former mouse rancher .

It's a lie. There are limits. FWIW, skin one out and do a Euro mount. Even 1/2" will work. I had pastures of mice in 1/2", but those were different days and places. But stuffing screen is tough. You might look into stainless Chore Boy scrubbers or similar. In combination with expanding foam - good stuff.
Any idea of what species you are confronting?

You think I exaggerate perhaps?

Okay. Best solution is remove habitat in your garage etc. but if you can figure out where they are getting into anything you don't want them in, you can stuff that full of something - probably. Tractors are pretty hard to seal up. Effin' John Deere...
I grew up on a dairy farm so lots of experience with mice and rats. We had problems with them back then but i dont remember them getting into cabs of trucks and eating through wires. Building nests where you dont want them or filling air filter boxes with stuff, sure.

Look it up and read it then.

If mice are getting into your garage you need a new door. Or at least a better seal.

I was visiting my in laws a few years back and discovered they had a mice problem. I put out several different methods, on top of a major clean up (food).Glue, water barrel, regular and live traps. Caught a ton. I also put up the electronic ones. I don't know the brand that I used, but it really seemed like the electronic deals helped keep things from coming back.
Just found out where the spots are on the Tacoma to screen. 1/4 hardware cloth or expanded metal.
The vent intake is under the wiper panel next to the windshield. There is a hole they travel thru from the outside next to the fender.
My mechanic said he'd fix the vents and motor.
Same thing with the engine air intake, it needs screening.
