I wish you better luck than I had many years ago in South Florida. My little feet turned out to be a Skunk. This type of skunk is sometimes called a Florida Civic cat and is much smaller than a reg. skunk and smells just as bad. I set a trap to catch it and did but he got out before I could remove it the next morning. He was smart enough to not get into the trap again so I needed to build a new trap that he didn't recognize. My new trap worked but when it went off he sprayed the attic and the whole house smelled of skunk. After removing him I went to the local grocery store and bought them out of air fresheners. I have no idea how he got in there or what he ate, but it was a terrible experience.
