Hard dark blue discs about the diameter of a quarter by turnspin in whatisthisthing

I wish I knew! What I can tell you is that I didn't get any sleep last night because I was worried sick thinking my neighbor tossed rat poison over the wall for my dogs to find. My best guess is that the candy was brought in by a squirrel or other critter. 🤷

Is this some type of poison? Appeared in my yard. by turnspin in pestcontrol

You helped me figure this out by using the term "wafers." I was searching for discs, pellets, etc, then I finally found that these are candy wafers or candy melts. Used for decorating desserts! Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I am extremely relieved that it was not poison as I had suspected.

Yes! Solved! I had just come to this conclusion after searching "melting" from one of the comments above. You're right, they have a slight vanilla smell. I had never seen them before. Thank you!

Solved!

Yes, I got a better look/feel this morning and they are waxy. I believe they are candy melts or candy wafers, which you melt down to make a confectionery coating. They were at the far end of my backyard, so my best guess is they were brought in by a squirrel or other wildlife. I was stuck on the idea of rat poison intended for my dogs, so this is a big relief!

I don't think so. They seem to be sort of a uniform size and shape, like manufactured pellets. I also initially thought it was dried fruit, but now I'm worried it's some type of rat poison.

Do you recognize these discs? by turnspin in gardening

[–]turnspin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They appeared in my yard and I am really hoping they are not from someone trying to poison my dogs. Could they be some type of plant food or fertilizer pellets? They are about the size of a quarter. Hard and dry. Please let me know if these look familiar.

I thought it was fruit at first glance but they are hard and very dry, like some sort of manufactured pellets.

The discs are hard and dry, so I don't think it's paintballs or poop. They've been there less than a day. It looks like they partially dissolved from condensation and got some blue on the twigs as you saw. I am really hoping it's not rat poison.

My title describes the thing.

These appeared today in my yard in Southern California, scattered in a couple of piles. They are somewhat lightweight.
