Thanks pcmc for your ideas on how to get rid of those varmints. I am still hearing mice during the night but haven’t heard the louder swishing sounds, which I thought may have been squirrels. I am now wondering if those sounds may have been caused by something falling into an unused chimney (an owl or night creature perhaps)? It could have sounded as though it was coming from the partitions when it may have been in the chimney. I haven't heard them again since last week.

I am still setting traps for the mice, but they have eluded my efforts so far. Your idea of finding how they are getting in by looking for their tracks in the snow is an excellent one. I will do that as soon as we have snow. A friend suggested that if I find the hole where they are entering, to stuff it with steel wool and that should stop them.
