Question
The pellets are grouped along the back edge of a lower cupboard. One food packet has a small tear, but I have not seen a mouse. Should I remove everything immediately, and is it safe to vacuum the droppings?
Pest Or Not answer
Pointed pellets beside damaged food packaging are consistent with possible mouse activity, although a photo cannot confirm the source by itself. Photograph the pellets and nearby gaps first, discard exposed food, ventilate the area, and wear gloves. Do not sweep or vacuum dry droppings. Wet them with a suitable disinfectant, allow the stated contact time, then wipe them up. Check nearby cabinet edges, pipes, and appliance gaps for fresh pellets or gnaw marks before sealing entry points.
