We live in a rural location and the sheds and garage are always prone to "field mice", which are usually wood mice, apodemus sylvaticus.
I use mouse traps in the areas where I store cars, baited with chocolate spread. They have to be emptied every day at this time of year. "Humane" traps are a waste of time unless you release the mice several miles away from your location as they can travel large distances to get home.
On occasions, the mice have caused damage to head linings and trim; last year I evicted a mouse from beneath the back seat of the Top Hat, where it had build a nest by chewing up a blanket, stored in the car. They are a formidable pest.
