A field mouse can get through a gap the width of a pencil and chew through plastic. I looked at making screens with wire mesh, but at the necessary mesh size it occluded too much of the vent area to be left on all day, so I settled for shutting the vents and doors at dusk. Here in the chilly midlands it doesn't seem to cause a problem

I keep saying that I will make a mesh inner door for one side of my double sliding doors, yet another summer has passed with out the required 'round too it' :)
