To keep mice out of your home, there's to things you need to do: remove access and remove the food source.

In order to remove access, you should inspect your home for all possible entry points. Mice are capable of getting through holes the size of your pinkie finger. These holes should be plugged with caulk or similar. For a more temporary plug solution try steel wool.

In order to remove the food source, you need to properly place all food in tightly sealed containers. Mice are capable of gnawing through cardboard boxes or paper bags, so it will not be sufficient to leave food in these containers. Clean your home regularly and don't leave any food out (dirty plates, bags of chips, etc...). Take your garbage out frequently as this is also an excellent food source for mice.
