Mouse droppings??!

I have found some strange dropping like things in our house in one place a couple of times. They look like little pellets or seeds, maybe 1mm by 3mm, dark brown.

Could they be mouse droppings? There are quite a lot of them in an area in one room at the moment and I need to know what they are?!

Any ideas?

They could well be. I've just had 4 weeks of the little bastards. Call the council and they'll come and sort it out!

I had this is my loft, but was a rat. Just call the council - it should be free.

Make sure all foods are in air tight containers.

sounds like mice droppings to me
BTW not all councils are free for sorting mice out, ask first

sounds like mouse droppings. the also wee to scent mark their trails. good idea to get them sorted. dh is paranoid about these critters because they can carry leptospirosis. always a concern on construction sites.

Yes, sounds like mice.
I had two bouts of the little buggers last year - had to get poison.

Oh blimey. Thanks for your messages. The droppings are thankfully a long way from the kitchen but I guess mice travel so we need to be careful.

Will have to call private pest control as I think our council shut its pest control dept down. was some talk of reinstating it but they still charge bless em....
