How to deter Field Mice?

Last year I was left with virtually nothing thanks to a few little field mice. What's the best way to deter these critters?
C4? - kidding. Actually not kidding.
I noticed a new hole last week in the middle of my cleared ground bed that I was planning on putting my roots in this year. And there was a little field mouse sitting next to it, bold as brass, out in the sunlight.
I'm not a violent person but seriously I am down to zero tolerance.

You need a cat
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
True. When I intially got mine, birds disappeared as well
. Fortunately they've come back but the mice haven't.
This is what cats are born to do (has a mouse in its mouth)... in my garden......
Sitting in the sunlight ? Lucky you
Unfortunately not, that photo was taken last summer.
