How to cover a hole

Hello. I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. I have a hole in the side of my house from the kitchen sink waste pipe, the previous tenants had stuffed it with news paper but the local mice have still managed to get in.
I have just tried to use expanding foam to fill it, but it looks like the marshmallow monster has escaped my house. Is there anything I can do that doesn't involve drilling into the tiles. Thanks

    glue a big lump of cheese in the hole, a mouse will come eat it for ages,then would get very fat and then stuck in the hole.
