Anybody have any tips? It's parked underground.

also start with an engine shampoo or similar, to clean off the poo and whatever smelly signs they left behind. I think they tend to return to places they're familiar with, so if you clean off as much as possible, it's less chance they return. And check under the hood again every so often... typical non-car people probably never open the hood, and that's when things go unnoticed, giant nests, chewed wires and hoses...
Honda sells anti-mouse tape to tape around the harnesses iirc, expensive stuff. We have a customer that asks us to (and supplies their own) apply bitter apple spray to the engine bay every time we do an oil change; i think its original purpose is to train pets not to chew things. And apparently it works for them
