The novelty of living with vermin wears off real quick. Right now they're pissing and crapping all over your space and real soon, you're going to be able to smell that. There's also the pleasure of having one of these suckers die somewhere, somewhere you can't find but can sure smell, unless you're lucky enough to have it dry out before it begins to rot. Not only is the smell an issue, but there's the maggots and resulting flies to deal with too.
Then there's the fact that mice will eat, or try to eat almost anything including your clothing, bedding, electrical wires, furniture yada yada before "discovering" the joys of living behind your fridge with it's little drip pan that serves as a constant supply of water.
Sure, try the live traps, set the critters back in the wild while singing Born Free but you have to give yourself a deadline then be prepared to go all atavistic, make yourself some nasty weapons and do the deeds that need to be done.
