Mice defecate as they explore so the potential to contaminate your home is a high risk, especially around the kitchen area where all your food stuffs are based. Droppings are so tiny they can fall or be deposited onto open food stuffs and go unnoticed, urine also contaminates work surfaces where food can be prepared.
Rodenticides can be used within the home, but Abm prefers trapping programs which removes bodies instead of allowing them to decay and produce unwanted aromas.
