What keeps mice out of a house is sealing the gaps they use to get in, with materials they can't chew: steel wool plus sealant, metal mesh, hardware cloth, concrete and good door sweeps. A mouse can fit through a gap about the width of a pencil. Removing food and clutter helps, but scents like peppermint and ultrasonic plug-ins don't keep mice out for long.
