Pullstart 62,867 #1 Posted January 22, 2022 I’ve seen these droppings before. I think that’s what they are. I moved a large item that was about 1/2” off the ground and found a neat pile of these. I’ve seen ‘em before too. They are just under 1/8” diameter and very uniform. anyone got a crappy idea as to who I’m dealing with? We have mice at random living in the middle of a field, I’m seen just a couple rats, but these droppings are surely not theirs. I searched and found that termites leave uniform 6 sided droppings of varying wood colors, but these are smooth and I don’t see any skid damage or flying insects. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 2,057 #9 Posted January 22, 2022 At that size they are almost certainly from a rodent of some sort. They are the wrong shape for a mouse, which are oblong and pill shaped, rats are similar. They are the right shape for a rabbit, but the wrong size and consistency by the looks of it. They may be from a mole. I find similar ones all through my wood piles, so your suspect should be something with a range that includes Middleville MI and DIllsburg PA, which probably would include most common rodents. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACman 7,618 #18 Posted January 22, 2022 Spider poop 💩 unless you have some really big cockroaches, termites or bedbugs . I searched [ how to identify pest by their poop ] and searching images I couldn’t find a small rodent with anything that looks like that . 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
