Not that mice don't find fiberglass insulation attractive either!
Max,

What I did at my place for floor insulation... I used small cans of spray foam around all pipe and other small floor cutouts first. I then installed fiberglass insulation. Covered all insulation with 1/4" luan. I used urethane caulking over all luan seams then screwed strapping over all the seams and sealant to ensure nothing could get through.

Its been under there for 12 years now and we get no mice. bugs or ants. Floor stays nice and warm in winter as well.
