We used a 55 gallon drum as a trash can in a shop I worked in many years
ago. Lunch remnants went in the drum. One day someone left a 2x4 leaning
against the drum. The next day the drum was full of mice. They'd climbed
the 2x4 and jumped in after that food, then found they couldn't get out.
The foreman took the drum out and lit the trash on fire. So I think you
can accomplish the same thing without leaving an open can of gas around.
