Weird balls appeared from nowhere

[Happymummy8888]

I clean EVERY day wipe work tops down twice a day after cooking so I know my kitchen. Today while wiping down I found around 15 small grey balls behind the utensil holder. What could they be? I called my partner to get them as I was scared they were eggs lol but he said they were more like polystyrene we looked at ceiling and walls no damage. They weren’t near a window so couldn’t have blown in...there was no droppings (mice) as I was worried maybe they were carrying them off somewhere I am baffled?!

Mice droppings

No they were grey balls like proper sphere shaped

Slug eggs?

I find these in my kitchen too! Sorry, no idea what they are ...

They sound spidery to me Hopefully not though.

Butterfly eggs? Have a look on Google images.

A picture would help a lot 😀

It's insulation most likely :)

Slug eggs

Google image search "insulation balls" and it's probably them! They get everywhere!

Silica gel packet that has split?

They're not the silver balls you get to decorate cakes are they?
I spilled a pot once and was finding the fuckers for ages.

Maybe termite eggs

Or termite droppings

A picture would really help here.

It's not your housekeeping skills, I promise.
No droppings?
Spiders. Their eggs sacs are exquisitely round and perfect. We discovered a lot when we removed some planks from our wood deck to make repairs.
Time to spray...and then take an hour walk to let everything settle.

Aliens. Tiny aliens.

Termite eggs look like rice. Not spherical.
Good luck!

It's insulation. My old home was drilled and filled with the balls. You can still find them around the place especially when it's been really windy they litter the street outside.

Sounds like insulation balls. Do you have a vent through the walls where the extractor fan goes out or something like that, where there might be a gap?

I really want to see the balls

Like bean bag balls do you mean?

Do you have a gas boiler and is it anywhere near where the balls were? If you have cavity wall insulation and there is an exhaust flue that goes out from a boiler through the wall, it could mean that the flue pipe is cracked, and you should get it checked by a gas service engineer.
