Dave Barry writes about rats in his house in Coral Gables.
Our last dead creature was an opossum, but its stinking carcass was marginally accessible by way of the crawl-space under our Miami Springs house. Unfortunately, one of the differences between Miami Springs and Coral Gables is that it is dishonorable in Miami Springs to call a guy with a truck for such things if you are a guy.
Another dead opossum and we're moving to the Gables.

I have a truck and have removed a dead rat from my crawl space before. Yick! I've also had a mouse jump out of his nest in the overhead insulation as I'm crawling in the (yep) crawl space. I almost shot him...but was too dizzy after I jumped and hit my head on the floor joist thingee.
You almost shot him? Whoa! I usually park what I'm packing when I'm crawling around, but you could very well have a point, Scott. You just never know.
And I like the truck. I like to think of my 4Runner as a truck. It is built on a truck chassis, anyway. You cannot, by the way, have a truck in Coral Gables. Maybe they would allow 4Runners but probably not 13 year old 4Runners.
I was concerned about the things that slither. We call 'em "No shoulders."
Got it. We have those critters in our yard - on the outside: the good ones, green and black ones. I do remember a six foot rattler being shot outside our elementary school down the street when I was in 5th grade.
