Not sure if this is the right thread, but it seems close enough.

Had some mice in our BBQ in the summer so we stopped using it and set traps. The ones around the patio furniture were the only ones that were successful, no mice were caught in the BBQ but we caught around a dozen around the patio furniture (no nesting found in the furniture itself).

After a while the traps stopped catching mice so I did a full clean of the BBQ and starting using it again. Last night I go out and see some activity again in the drip pan area - the tin foil I use was ripped up in multiple places so it must have been the mice chewing away at the grease on the drip tray.

Any ideas? I can start up the traps again of course, but with the patio furniture put away I'm not as hopeful we'll catch much. Is a reasonable idea to just clean the drip tray every time I use the BBQ? Not really sure where to go here.

Not sure if it matters, but we haven't been able to find the source of the mice.
