Wife went to get into the vehicle this winter and a mouse hopped out. I have tried mothballs scattered around the garage but it was not enough. So I filled a 5 gallon pail 1/3 full with water and rubbed some peanut butter on the inside of the pail and placed a pine board on an angle like a ramp to the top of the pail. Had a dozen mice in the first week. Have to remember to empty the pail or it starts to stink. In the real cold nights it froze as the garage is unheated. Leaving the dead mice in the garden is good for the night visitors as they are gone. 
  Mice in the house is a different problem but needs to be addressed. Renovating a kids bedroom I found a chewed  romex wire with the jacket opened up and some of the white and black insulation chewed as well. Mice love to tunnel through fiberglass insulation and compromise its effectiveness. I sealed all openings between the house and the foundation as best I could sometimes using aluminum drip edge under the ledger board tight to the cement and caulk in other areas. If you still hear the buggers running around in the ceiling at night get some professional advice.
