My '23 w/ 7k miles has some mice droppings in cabin air filter. Where in the vehicle should I be inspecting for signs of nesting?

Where do mice nest in Tacomas ??

Hopefully this is a false alarm. But if it were me, I'd check the cowl, engine air filter, and maybe flip up that plastic engine cover thing and check in the insulation. Next level up I guess would be going through the interior, like undersides of seats. My father had one tunnel into the rear seat of his Corolla years back. Are there signs of urine anywhere? Droppings in the interior besides cabin filter?

I had them under the engine cowl where they chewed up some of the soy based wires and I found crushed up nut shells a poo in the engine airbox recently. I spray both locations with this stuff now, I don't know how well it works: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FIL425E/?tag=tacoma3g-20

I've got one of these deterrent devices in the engine compartment of my Tacoma. Also had one for the F150 for several years. Strobe lighting and ultrasonic sounds. There is an on/off switch. Two came in a box for about $25.
