Mom killed that idea the moment I brought him home. Of course I was sucked in right behind her.

Have you considered buying a mink?  Nasty li'l boogers and require conditioning ... but they'll clear out any pests around your place, just for the sheer joy of killing.  If you don't want the hassle, there may be someone nearby who provides a mobile service.

We have those critters around here. But this is Florida, where strange things are normal.
