What's a safe way to close the gap under a stove so mice won't go through it?

Question

We occasionally have mice in our manufactured home. We've wondered where they come from until we followed one to a large gap under our stove. The gap is 1/2 inch high and almost the entire width of the stove. What a safe way to close this gap from mice? I don't want to put paper or other flammable material down there. We don't have pets or small children. Thanks to all in advance.

Answer 1

The gap must have a purpose there, ventilation maybe? so buy a couple of mouse traps, and  oh cheese is their favourite food. If you don't they will find another way and bring the family. Alternatively buy a couple of hungry young tom cats, garanteed to do the trick.

Answer 2

Expandible foam should work.

Answer 3

Steel wool,  buy at hardware store and stuff in hole.  Stuff is cheap and mice cannot gnaw through it.   This is how it was done in the 50s
