Steel wool rusts, and will probably fall out while you're on the road. You might try the "Great Stuff Pestblock" on top of it, or in it's place. Wear work clothes, it gets on your clothes and won't come out without acetone.
We have not so far had a mouse revisit, but IMO the most effective thing I did was to put screening over the refrigerator vents. We had a mouse living on top of the refrigerator and the vent holes had been chewed wider. I bent the screening to fit over the inside of the vent, and hot-melt-glued the edges of the screening to the plastic.
