Anyway, are there some other steps that would be a good idea to take? I'm not really comfortable with trying to seal the gaps around those heat pipes. How flammable is that expanding foam that comes in a can? And also, like, who knows where else they might be coming from. That's just where I've seen them come and go from a couple times.

My family tended to plug up those sorts of holes with steel wool, since mice don't want to nibble through that poo poo. I imagine they'd just chew their way through any foam that you might use.

edit: gently caress

But yes, any mouseholes that you find, plug those with steel wool. Additionally, if mice aren't liking snap traps, try the jaw-style ones that are designed for households with cats. Don't worry if it takes awhile for mice to start springing the traps either; rodents tend to be immediately skittish about any new object in their environment but will get curious after a little bit.
