I've constantly battled mice in our vehicles in the CA Bay Area, it's certainly not just an issue in the desert, though I'm guessing it's probably worse there.
The only method I found that works is a "mouse moat" (I first learned about this at https://ucnrs.org/mice-barrier-cars/), I just use 14" aluminum flashing propped up on the inside with wood blocks, even for vehicles stored inside a garage. A lot cheaper to make, and less time-consuming even with set up and take down every few days, than repairing mouse damage and invasions!
