Default What kind of critter in the pantry leaves these deposits on the shelves near the window?

Any idea what critters would be making these? They are in the pantry.

some sort of insects. Remove everything from your pantry and clean it
with
anti-bac. Examine every tin and clean it Make sure lentils/cous
cous/bulgar
etc are in tight containers.


Maybe the result of the "ant invasion".

It's not ants.




Thanks for all your responses. No its not ants. I did have them once
but they cant resist coming out at night and being caught. I sealed
that hole up and no problems since. Plus I vinegar the outside walls
to deter them using the holes in the bricks.

Nothing above the shelves and ceiling and no obvious entry points for
anything. The long poo thing is a weird one for sure, no spider could
do that shirley?

I try and get a better pic then
