Mice prevention - Good tips??

I posted the following on RV and have gotten maybe two good comments/advice and a whole bunch of useless jokes and rhetorical...

I should have just posted on the TDR only...

OK, I have winterized the 5er and have it in storage at an indoor storage facility about 5 miles from home.

I have been doing this since Winter 2005, however during storage last winter (when I brought it home in May), I had mouse droppings in the RV.

I cleaned the entire RV from top to bottom and found every hole to the outside and sealed them up with expanding foam and duct tape as well as those plastic round hole covers. Found lots of holes...

This winter before storage I put Bounce Fabric softener sheets everywhere. I must have used 50 sheets... I even put some under the tires and landing gear.

I also double and triple checked that all food was removed from the RV.

The storage facility assured they have traps now...

Any other ideas that have worked for you??

Thanks,
Louis
