🐭MICE 🐭 Can fit through cracks as small as 12-13mm wide - What are your methods?

[Pierre E.]

I watched a video that did live testing and mice can fit through holes smaller than a dime, and actually can fit through gaps even more easily. What are your best methods to deal with mice in your properties esp single fam?  

I have a house planning to replace pipe in crawlspace with PEX but concerned about mice chewing through it and causing a major leak. Not sure if the answer is
a) nothing I can do about it, 
b) put a wireless water meter to help detect leaks on it (how does this work for a rental where the internet is theirs?)
c) Cover the joist bays that the pipes run through  (with what? plastic? wood? Foam?
d) set mouse traps and check them often (not a set it and forget it option and dead animals can stink, hard to check traps in a crawlspace regularly no?)
e) something else?
