Re: Mice in filing cabinet
After you empty the filing cabinet, move it. Often the base is actually open on the bottom. Look for a mouse hole in the floor or wall behind or under the filing cabinet. Close off that mouse hole in the floor or wall. When you've found their route in on the filing cabinet you can block it with some sheet metal or flashing.

Today, I was quite surprised to have found that mice had chewed on dozens of file folders in a metal filing cabinet. This is very recent activity. These are 70+ year old folders and original records that were awaiting care and...though I know mice can get into things...I hadn't expected they could get into a metal filing cabinet (albeit an ancient one).
