I opened the trunk yesterday, and found mouse droppings on the towel that was at the bottom of the trunk; it kind of did it in for me on the carpet. (calling the exterminator that I have a contract with to come back in and square that away).
I ordered an Auto Custom Carper floor carpet from Summit, last night. Ordered it with the Mass Backing for $370.00, plus tax.
I think once its installed, I will clean out the original carpet, and store it in the new box; I don't think its too bad, a few stains here and there; probably a good cleaning outside of the car may bring it back to decent shape.
It will be interesting to see how much muck is under the seats and nook-and-crannies after 221k miles. Will be cleaning the floor pan and laying down the Fatmat that I have as well. Hopefull it will be a quieter car, too.

use a good mask and gloves. rat shit/piss has bad bugs that can fuck you up if you breath it in.

I keep moth balls under the hood of my GN and my TA. Both of these cars sit for months at a time. Seems to be a good deterrent for the critters. You can also put them on top of the tires. That's 1 of the normal routes mice like to climb to get up into the cars. I get them from my local Home Depot.

I'm trying to figure out how the mice got in. Shouldn't be an opening big enough.

You would be pretty surprised the size of a hole those little critters can get into. The only spots I can think of off hand, would be somewhere along the firewall, where the wiring comes through. They might have chewed away some of the rubber grommets and slide right pass the wiring. Check up under the dash behind the gas and brake pedals. There is also a bulkhead of wiring going through the passenger side foot well. It starts under the hood where the PCM sits. Passenger side top left. You will probably have to disconnect the PCM ( disconnect battery 1st!! ) then look under there. There is also some rubber grommets inside the interior for letting water out if the car is flooded. Climb up under the car and see if any of those have been chewed away. After doing a brief research on the internet, a smaller mouse can fit through an opening the size of a dime !!!!
Mind blown !!

To be honest, if they are small enough, they could just push their way through the weatherstripping.
I plan to frequently drive the car, so moth balls on the tires might not be as good of a solution, although putting some in the engine bay may, I could put some in the driver side shock tower apron that has that dimple.
I could put some mothballs in the trunk area as well.

So, question about if I need to transfer any of the parts over from the old carpet to the new. I see some silver-foil-ish padding (about half and inch or so thick) that is under a portion of the carpet. Do I need to transfer that over if I am applying FatMat in all of the area that the carpet covers???

Iirc that's sound deadening. do you have to transfer, no but does it hurt not to, no.
