Steel wool will eventually rust and break down. I used it once for this purpose, in what I thought was an area that would never get wet. Well, it did get wet, somehow, (condensation? who knows) and not even a year later, the mice had their ingress hole back in use.

Get some of this Copper Stuff-It shit. You can easily cut pieces off with a regular pair of scissors. Stuff it into the hole as tightly as possible, using the head of a screwdriver or something for real tight spots. You can then apply the expanding foam sealant right into/on top of the Copper Stuff-It. The foam sealant will permeate the Copper Stuff-It and you will never see a mouse, rat or insect coming in through that hole again.

Leave your traps out for a while to catch stragglers who made it inside.

I don't know if this will be helpful for you OP in your particular situation, but one way to find ingress holes is to use a flashlight. Obviously this will only work in certain situations, but in the right situation it's handy as hell.

One person shines the flashlight around the perimeter of the building or room with the infestation, slowly drawing the beam over possible access areas; another person watches from the inside to see where the light's getting in. It's amazing how many holes this reveals sometimes.

We found a quarter-inch hole in some framing in the garage this way. The mice were using it to get into the basement. It was completely invisible to the naked eye from either the garage or the basement. I sealed it up as described above and that was that.

Good luck.
