A mouse can easily get into the back of your silverware drawer or find a way to get into a cabinet. Rat droppings are usually going to be found in larger places, such as behind storage shelves, along the wall of a garage or shed, in attic spaces, underneath kitchen appliances, and behind stored boxes.

Where do rats poop?

Rat poop can be found anywhere in a home, but some of the most common places are in the garage, crawl space, basement, or the walls' baseboard. Unlike mice and other small rodents, rats tend to be much larger and spend time on floors' base level.

Do rats leave droppings everywhere?

Rat and squirrel droppings are the same in size and shape. The only difference is the location you may find them in. Rats use their excrements to mark their territory, so the faeces are always scattered. In contrast, squirrels usually defecate in the same spot.
