Mothballs in an aluminum pan in the attic keeps birds, bats, squirrels, and bees out of the attic (a well ventilated attic, as it should be). I have also used this inside my trucks over the winter.
We catch many mice in regular mouse-traps inside our house every early winter (until the deep freeze sets in - it never did this year).
