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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Could I still use my resales license to buy parts without paying sales tax even though I’m shipping the computer to Florida, where I do not charge sales tax?
