Try attaching a strip of hardware cloth, the width of the doggie opening, to the door from the top to within a couple of feet of the ground or dog height + a little. If they enter through the dog opening attach a rubber doggie flap for the lower two feet.

Or you could get a cat. Do you have a farm and garden store near by? If so ask them. I know that mice also hate peperment. They sell it for campers. Will one of those electronic sound things work?
