Mouse and the Bee House(hive). Keep them out with 1/2" hardware cloth.

keeperofthebees:
How do you guys keep the squeakers away?

Perry:
So far I haven't done too much in that way. I might have the occasional one, but it's probably something I should address sooner than later.

iddee:
I have mice, and they will go through a 1/2 in. wire. I use 1/4 or 1/3in. wire, or a commercial mouse guard.

tefer2:
A mouse can get into anything larger than a dime size opening.
If he can get his head in, body slides right through.
1/2 hardware cloth is to large.

Walt B:
I have used the commercially available guards and also the metal drywall edges cut to the proper length with a few of the holes enlarged to 0.375".
