A long time ago when we ran into a mice problem in our garage, what worked for me in keeping the mice from staying in my engine bay was -- I just had to keep the hood propped up. Rodents like enclosed space because it makes them safe. By keeping the hood propped up, apparently that was enough to make them uncomfortable.

(A side issue to this was -- with my car at the time, the parasitic drain on the battery is much higher when the hood is propped up. Maybe the ECU won't go into sleep mode or something? At any rate, to keep the hood propped up, I also had to hook the car battery to a battery tender. YMMV)
