Don't know about mice, pack rats don't like lights. If you have one they will chew the wires off a new pickup in just hours. Saw a camp host w/ a shop light under his ford hd pu. Pack rats had visited his site. They will build a nest out of anything they can carry, they really like wire insulation. Knowing how my wife reacts to mice, I sure didn't need that. Off to hobby lobby and bought enough string light to circle the mh.
Don't know if it works yet but makes wife feel better.
In a private rv park had a session with trapping a pack rat in the RV, just thought of that when reading your post ... and in the rv park had not put out the rope lights we use when volunteering in state parks, etc. Just did a "well wonder if" to ourselves when reading your post. From now on the rope lights will go down period wherever we are .. Shalom. Peace.
As to mice, we use Rodent Repellent Spray plus a battery powered mouse trap and regular mouse traps ... only have caught about 1 or 2 a year, but grateful got rid of the nuisance smells, etc.
