Take a potato peeler to a couple bars of Irish spring soap.  Leave a couple piles around "good mice places" .  The mice hate it and as a bonus it's a fresh and clean as a whistle!

I have used dryer sheets for years in my 88' Westy. Sometimes it works and sometimes I noticed that they will even chew on the sheets. As of now I'm using only sonic antimouse plugins. I have 2 of the sonic things in my Westy. Today I noticed mice droppings must be time to add/change the dryer sheets
