When I had rats in my chicken coop, I bought mink urine from a company that sells stuff to trappers.  I sprayed it on the ground all around the outside of the building, up along the foundation.  It worked!  The worse part was that I got their catalog of disgusting stuff for a couple of years.  I also have a friend that lived in a log home and has problems with mice inside the logs that have channels for electrical wires.  The channels were fairly large and she had areas she could access them, so she would turn her ferret loose in there for awhile.  The ferret would have a great time, and would leave behind his essence that would keep the mice away for months.

Pretty Good Idea, Bruce! But the dealership has been great. Can't really "share" my mice with them. 

Rent a weasel. hmmmm... Too bad this is in the outdoors!....

Two thoughts.

1.)  Hav-a-Heart trap, baited with Doritos, under the car engine every evening.  In the morning you can drop the inhabitants near the car dealership.

2.)  Rent a weasel.  We had one in the house once, and I could hear it chasing mice.  It didn't stay long, but neither did the mice.  (If one lives in a Maine farmhouse that's nearly 150 years old, one gets used to neighbors of the furry kind.)

Best of luck.  Our daughter-in-law had the same problem this past summer;  they used regular spring traps, but it was a few days before they got both (all?) the mice.
