Our place was built in 1955, and, except for a chipmunk following me through the front door during summer,
never had any rodent indoors.
'Course, taking precautions with "edibles" couldn't hurt, even though the place becomes a deep freezer over winter. So, most things made of "tasty" plastic, like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and handy medications like "Unguentine", "triple-antibiotic", spare
Triamcinalone acetonide and even shampoo (!)—we store in large cookie tins. (Or seasonal
popcorn tins).
Mice won't hesitate to use
any paper products as nesting material, so store those items away in tins, as well.
Slightly
OT: With such temperature swings that can occur in a New Hampshire "camp", I've longed to buy a "Galileo thermometer" for over 20 years. (Still on my "want list"). But the liquid inside is alcohol in a water base, so how do I keep it from freezing and likely fracturing the glass enclosure?
(Other than tying it to a rock, and putting it in the lake).

"One in attack", sounds like the most aggressive product for mice control—I
want one!
