An adult mouse will get through a 1/2" dia hole no problem, 3/8" will
slow it down but will still get through...
A pest-control expert on TV recently said (of mice getting into houses) if a
biro would go through a gap, a mouse could.
I've seen a mouse disappear into the much-smaller-than-a-biro crack
between a skirting board and a wooden floorboard.... (under extreme
duress; three dogs and two cats were pursuing it round our sitting room
at the time).
Reminds me of a friend who had mice in the house; the pest man wanted
to look in her car and she told him earnestly that she kept it locked.
He pointed out that they don't use the doors!
