Mouse in loft

Wow!
Similar to that video, I have a vent like this for my kitchen extractor.

How do I make this rat/mice proof?
It's an unlikely entry point. But if it's that awful flexi-duct then they'd be straight out of it into whatever void it's in.

The cowl shown in the mouse video is probably mouse-proof, perhaps with a lip under it.

I wouldn't put mesh within a cooking extractor, it will soon fill with congealed cooking vapours and become a blocked mess.

The point of the video is a mouse running on a vertical wall, not the unrelated wall vent that the mouse doesn't even enter!
 
Seeing droppings and having mice can be 2 different things.

Do you have evidence of recent activity?
I went in the loft over the weekend and had a good look and sniff around. I don't see any nibbling or additional droppings. I thought it would be wise to put something up there as a precaution
