Two comments: First, the mice get into the garage where your car is by small holes in the perimeter. It may be impossible to close up the holes because of the construction of the garage, but a metal building with concrete slab and tight fitting garage door may be the best solution. Our basement is wide open on one end where the hoses from the heat exchanger run so that is were our mice get in. I have lots of mouse bait under stuff that is stored there where the dogs cannot get to it.

Second: Lots of people have advocated using cats to control mice. If you decide to go that route, do not use the mouse bait as the cats can get sick eating mice that have been poisoned.
