I'm sure others will reply Dave, but expanding foam or steel wool should act as a barrier for mice (at least it would where I live in GA). It depends on how much space you have to fill in. Pics would be great if possible

Thanks for the reply. Camper’s in storage, so have no available photos. I have large holes like shown by Steveo57 above. How well does the expanding foam do for the large gaping holes?

Keep in mind that steel wool should not be used…..rusting badly . Bronze wool or stainless pads are preferable.

Gracias! Any feel for how spray foam would work in a large, 2-3 inches, hole and if the mice stay away from it?

After a mouse ran up my feet to over my head while I was in my recliner, with my wife screaming like the world was going to end, I fill all those huge holes with the expanding foam. If you haven't used that stuff before, it REALLY expands and can make a bit of a mess if you are not aware.

Buy rodent or pest resistant expanding foam.
