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).
