It was a few years ago when I had to deal with this mess, and my old man carved / planed some wooden blanks to block off the gaps we had leading to the garage. So I didn't use any mesh things to block off holes.
Also when you are washing / bleaching, make sure you give anywhere along a wall and the ground near by a good scrub. In the absence of cover, the rodents will still prefer the sense of security offer by the path along a wall, as opposed to an open crossing. So they will leave the most scent there.
If you are laying traps, place those along the wall on what you'd expect to be the path they walk through. For me, mechanical traps with peanut butter bait worked best. Glue trap kind of worked as well, but not nearly as much as the good ol' mechanical trap. But the mechanical trap leaves a gruesome mess, so be prepared for that.
