Would this keep mice out? Is it sturdy so a mouse couldn't push past it?

Yes.The only issue is if it's these modern day mouse they can know away the plastic if determine enough.

I used it for a chicken yard, and it's so small, I don't think anything can get through it.....which is what I hoped for. Poison traps work well, if you keep them full. The ones where the rats or mice get in and eat from it but can't take the poison out. Good Luck!

The mice push the door in and get caught once thru. You do need to check the trap every day to be sure they don't die in there. The trap works with some mice but perhaps not all. Give it a week at least, checking daily.

The screen opens fairly easily. The magnets are spaced about 5" apart and pull away easily with a little pressure which is convenient for dogs and if your hands are full. The mesh keeps out bugs but probably would not keep out anything of small weight trying to get in. I hot glued two large metal washers at the bottom to keep it from blowing around as much when windy but I doubt that would discourage rodents. It does stay closed when it is supposed to very well.

No, it is very sturdy, but can be pushed aside. I would'nt put it where it has to be moved to use tho. Mine blocks a seldom used closet, but isn't a hassle to move enough to allow entry.

This Pawz Away is specifically designed for that. I have two that are each in places I want to keep my dog out and they work. Note that the barrier area is not as wide as they demonstrate.

This container is thicker in plastic than Rubbermaid, but mice can chew through iron, brick, and steel. You might need to lay sticky tape around your storage container or tape it on (with sticky side out) your to catch the mice.

The air holes on the sides are too small for rodents to get through, but I suppose they could chew into the bin. I have found raccoon prints on the sides several times so I know it keeps them out.

I don't know if this product is mouse proof, but it certainly isn't squirrel proof. A mouse is different in size and may not destroy the lid to pieces, but I gave up. I spent lots of $ buying containers that claim to be pest or rodent proof and now I'm looking for a metal container I can use as storage for birdseed. Hope this helps you out and good luck.

How big is your mouse? I assume if your mouse can enter your house via a 1/4 inch hole, it will fit in the trap. If your cat or can get its paw past the first maze wall, there are a handful, it is a contortionist. I cannot see how that is possible. Good luck. I am very happy with mine.

I would think it would not attract rodents, even though mice can get thru the smallest of holes (which go right down to the bottom of the unit). When I put food scraps into the bin, I put it at least 6 inches away from the edge, covering it well with leaves/brown material. If you are still worried, I suggest a screen around the lower half of the bin. That would keep the air flowing, but not sure the mice would get under the screen anyway. I tried a tarp (not for mice), but it got too dry. Looks like no one else is having mouse issues either. Good Luck.

It may not keep deer out because they can technically jump over, rabbits will not be able to get thru. I use it for chickens and to keep dogs out, have had not rabbit, deer, or any other animal get into the fenced area!

I purchased for the inside of a stored camper ( during the winter months only ) I also used "mouse proof " as an added form of protectant. Come spring time open up ( in New England ) the mice and chipmunks had lived in there . Neither worked. Sorry to disappoint you. You would think that an enclosed area would be an ideal situation for both items. I am champagnetom@yahoo.com

I have 4 mice (two very small, young ones) and the bars are just close enough to keep them in! One spot in my cage has a slight warp in the metal and one of them tried escaping once but after that incident, i just duct taped it up and they've been very happy in there! So I would recommend this cage for mice!

The plastic covers the bottom, and there's a piece of folded cardboard to help it stay flat. The holes in the plastic that the frame goes through are a little wider than the frame pole, and bugs could conceivably crawl through, but I don't think mice could.

While the spacing is fairly large, the answer is still subjective to the size of the mouse. One may be able to get it's head through, but not its body: I.e., if the mouse is small enough, it may get stuck. My advice would be to use a ruler and make a series of 1/2" lines to get a visual interpretation of the spacing.

I don't think anything is mouse proof. Its a hard plastic I'm sure mice can chew through it, however it does have an airtight seal so I'm guessing that if the mice cant smell it they won't bother it. I'm not however, a rodent expert. You might wanna call an exterminator and get their input.
