My multivan has been stored over the winter in the garage and it has gained a few mouse droppings inside over that time.
Are there any known entry points for the little blighters and any preventative measures.

Re: Mice
I was thinking is there a way in via the oval holes in the inner sills ,up the A or D pillars or through the heater etc. my van is reasonably rot free I don’t think there are any rusted holes!

Re: Mice
I had the same in a BMW 316 touring that I had, they got into and nested in the air filter also found a way in via the ventilation system into the interior and nested in the glove box.
The ventilation system is easy for them to access.

Re: Mice
My late father in law reckoned if you could push a pencil through a gap, a mouse could also get through. So, if your van is garaged when not being used, I’d recommend one of those plug in ultra-sonic deterrent things. They keep my sheds completely free of wildlife. And my lofts
