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

It might help if there could be some indication of scale. If you're
going to take another picture, put a coin alongside the poo. A 5P
piece is about 3/4 inch, while 2P or 10P pieces are about 1 inch.

Sometimes snail poo can be quite long, but I can't tell from your pic
how big the poo is. And is it just the poo you want identifying, or
all the other dross as well?

Alternatively, someone's being doing some d-i-y work in the vicinity
(you mentioned sealing up a hole that ants were using), hence the
other dross, and the 'poo' is a worm of filler that's dropped
un-noticed off the end of cartridge nozzle and then dried hard.

Sorry guys its been cleaned up now so cant take another pic but will
keep an eye on the pantry in future.

The poo was small ball (thinnest) of string size in thickness and
would be around an inch or so in length, now rock hard. There were
another couple in straight lines elsewhere. The little bits are husks,
or old shells of something little granola size or less. Nothing to do
with any DIY. Its creature related for sure. The cable is just an old
battery charger mains cable, two core.
