Mum spots 'terrifying' clue that something sinister is hiding in her kitchen: 'What do I do now?'
A mum was shocked to step into her kitchen and spot two seriously 'worrying' changes that weren't there when she went to bed.
The New South Wales woman went to make breakfast one morning when she found her avocado had been gnawed on and mysterious 'brown bits' all over her plate and sink.
'I have woken to signs of a creature overnight,' she wrote in a post, asking others to help her identify the culprit. 'There's poop on my kitchen sink and counter. I live alone in a four-room cabin. Where is it going during the day? What do I do?'
She noted that there were no entry or exit points in the area apart from the drain. Still, many believed a mouse had snuck in and left droppings all over her home.
Pest control experts have noted that gnawing and scratch marks are the most obvious indicator of rats and mice.

'By the size of the droppings and teeth marks l would be saying roof rats,' one said. 'They will eat grains, vegetables, and fruits.'
A few others offered various pieces of advice to confirm the issue before calling pest control.
'Pay close attention to areas under sink cupboards where water pipes extrude,' a woman noted.
'Check all doors, especially if you have access from laundry to exterior, and door to the garage to ensure they have weather strips and are properly sealed.
The mum found droppings in her sink
'Remove all food and place into sealed containers or the fridge.'
Another said, 'Check for small entry points around pipe penetrations, check the entire kitchen for more droppings under sink area or pantry.
'Baiting or snap traps should help. Fix entry points after no more droppings are noted for a week.'
While many claimed using baits and snap traps would solve the issue, it was best to consult pest control to avoid secondary poisoning.
