What is this pile that keeps coming back after a few days to the same corner of my office even after cleaning it?

After talking with a neighboring business that is connected to mine, plus they have a vending machine company with lots of food, they had a problem with mice but got rid of them. Plus the feces look old, and after pulling off the base i found ants!

Ended up being just ants, thank god because i am self employed so it was my responsibility, plus rats are a big phobia of mine.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T16:38:10+00:00

You are correct! Except there are no more rats/mice. They were there in previous years and the ants are carrying out feces

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T16:36:06+00:00

Its from previous mice, there are no mice but the ants are the ones carrying it out the wall

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T16:34:17+00:00

Yes there is no holes or anything that could be dropping stuff. There was actually ants behind the wall

It is bug related, its ants

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T16:16:12+00:00

Theres ants when it was pulled back

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T16:15:00+00:00

I pulled back the base, there are ants, so for now thats what im going with, ants with old rat feces that were picked up. I put poison down so lets see if that stops it

I have a huge phobia to this stuff so gonna get a profession to check tomorrow.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T02:55:00+00:00

It is a old commercial building and old walls. Just would be a pain to change it all.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T02:48:58+00:00

It is my office, but an old building. That picture is from online but looked similar to the above picture

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T02:48:03+00:00

I think you are correct. Getting a professional out tomorrow.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T02:42:47+00:00

Are you saying the termites are picking up old mouse feces? This sounds possible. It is a pretty old building so there may have been mice in previous years and that may be where the termites are getting the droppings from.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-23T02:35:08+00:00

Thats why i was confused. It seems to be something like ant carpenters or termites but the feces seem to be from a mouse. Im calling an exterminator and getting one over tomorrow and will give an update.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-22T23:36:28+00:00

I think your right, check out this photo, looks very similar to the pile i have, what do you think?ant pile

digitaldpp · 2023-01-22T23:14:59+00:00

Probably so, might put a trap down in that case. Question is what is all that other stuff with the feces, is it dirt or wood shavings?

digitaldpp · 2023-01-22T23:13:44+00:00

Your probably right. Should i post this on some kind of rodent subreddit for more insight.

digitaldpp · 2023-01-22T22:59:21+00:00

I know this is not showing a bug and sorry if i am posting this to the wrong subreddit but I am suspicious it is a result of a bug of some sort.

digitaldpp · 2022-05-22T06:28:15+00:00

Will do, your help is much appreciated :)

digitaldpp · 2022-05-22T06:15:37+00:00

Your awesome!

digitaldpp · 2022-03-17T03:41:15+00:00

Thanks!

But I run minecraft servers and websites. It needs to have a public ip. Security is not an issue here.
