Can you identify these animal droppings?

I'd bet money that you have mice. Mice are incontinent and the droppings look like mouse poo. They climb just about everywhere and get into cupboards and drawers. You need to start dealing with them now. Make sure they have no access to food; crumbs can feed mice well so clean your floors and counters.

You'd know if you had bats in your house.

FrankSarcasm@reddit

I have bats and birds. I twigged the birds first then the bats. It looks like bat poo to me.

Not if they were living behind the fascia boards. They wouldn’t be visible inside the house.

[-]

WoodyManic@reddit

You'd still know. They're not exactly silent. I have had some roosting in my attic for decades now.

Mouse dropping size of rice rat dropping size of a coffee bean. I’d say they are mouse droppings

Bat.

Go out of your house at dusk and look up at the sky next to your eaves - you may well see bats emerging from a gap somewhere near the fascia boards. When they are getting ready to fly it’s sometime possible to hear the squeaking / flapping noise as well.

Outside on a sill it will be bats, quite possibly a pipistrelle nursery.

I would be saying household lizards but uncommon in Uk. In se asia this is common at home from lizards

Eve_LuTse@reddit

They would have a white blob on the end though ( like bird droppings) as reptiles don't pee. They get rid of their urea as a solid, with their poo.

Can OP please repost with the standard measurement comparison tool, a banana - thank you

Forever_a_Kumquat@reddit

Mouse, as there are urine patches on there too. A bat wouldn't leave urine puddles.

Take that 20p and go buy a banana.

Looks like mouse to me.

CrimFandango@reddit

Similar to the Golden Goose, only this one's of smaller monetary value obviously.

[-]

Durzo_Blintt@reddit

The trick is to taste them. Different droppings have different flavours.

[-]

ItsUs-YouKnow-Us@reddit

The borrowers. They had a big dinner last night.

Giles81@reddit

What happens if you squash them between finger and thumb. If they crumble into fairly dry powder made if insect frsgments, that's probably bat. Shrew is similar but less likely in that situation.

Mouse won't crumble - might squish a bit when fresh, but generally a pretty hard pellet. Rat is quite a bit bigger.

[-]

WelshBen@reddit

It could be bat, mouse, or rat droppings. They all look so similar. They could possibly be too small for rat but it's absolutely a possibility.
