John Dirks Jr Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Will rats tend to pick a spot where they like to deposit their droppings or will it be randomly spread about? Yesterday I was walking up a sidewalk to a front door and saw what looked like rat droppings on the sidewalk. There was at least 20-30 pieces within a 2 sq ft area. I figured, why all right here? I looked up above the pile and about 6 ft high there is a corner trim piece for vinyl siding that is open on the bottom. This trim piece went all the way up and thru the vinyl soffit material. I suppose it terminated with an open end above the soffit. This pile of droppings was directly underneath this trim piece. I am wondering if there is vermin in the attic that has decided to use the open end of the corner trim as a "toilet" so to speak. What about squirrel droppings? Do they look anything like rat droppings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Morrison Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Both rats and squirrels use latrines. What you saw sounds like squirrel shite to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 To the untrained eye rat and squirrel, aka Tree Rats have similar looking droppings. Squirrel droppings have a nuttier taste.[:-sour] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hi, Yes, although they generally will crap anywhere, there always seems to be one or two areas where there's a whole lot of crap and nothing to necessarily attract them, such as heat. Entrances to borrows are usually heavily littered. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
