You did the best thing Cheryl in removing the carpet so they have less hiding place. Apart from that I am unsure how you can clear mice.
Hi, I had a huge problem with mices in the last years and lost a lot of plants, shrubs and apple trees.
Last spring I started my mint project with planting a lot of mint plants, and also using cheap unbrewd mint tea for the winter time. I put it in and around my composter, in the planting whol when I planted plants and in each mice whole witch I found in the garden. This was a first time (in 7 years) that I had dhalias!In my composter were no signs of mices!
I’m happy to say, it works for me. A month ago I planted a globe artichockes and a preannial kale. They still there!

Having dreadful mouce vole problems having grown my seeds in a plastic box sealed at night I had beautiful broard beans plants & was believed that they won’t touch the bean once chitted peas too BUT not so my friends after a few days I am down to 50% loss & trying to stay positive & the traps have regrettably come out hopefully not too late . I have tried catmint & longfolia mint but I didn’t have any luck in the winter.. pepper however does work if you can keep applying but like slug pelletsit gets expensive . I also don’t want to kill everything & cause a void in the natural balance . The mice also had a go at a few of the onions after chitting but I think only as there were a few seeds not germinated . I think they have had a bad spring too but is very demoralizing.
I’m still happy with a mint-tea-bag solution. Catmint didn’t work for me. In the last 10 days are springflowers coming up that I lost year after year befor. Lettuces, onions, garlic and much more are all there. Because of the smell of the mint. Give them a try.
I will try put a pic again, I see it didn’t work last time.
