An Australian woman woke up in the morning and got ready to make breakfast, only to discover that the fruit she had eaten the night before was in poor condition and left strange brown “shards” in her sink.
A mother was horrified after waking up to discover that something had been inside her house during her overnight sleep. The concerned woman, from New South Wales, Australia, went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast when she noticed a telltale tooth imprint on her avocado.
The fruit had been chewed to expose some of the yellow pulp, and unexplained feces were left on the plate and in the sink. In her Facebook post, she explained that she lived alone in a “four-bedroom cabin” and asked for help to determine what was going on.
“All night I woke up with the presence of a creature,” she wrote in a post, asking for others to help identify the culprit. There is poop all over the kitchen sink and counter. I live alone in a four-room cabin. Where do you go during the day? What should I do? ” she wrote.
Many users responded to the woman's opinion, with some suggesting that there might be rats living in the roof. “You would think it was a roof mouse based on the size of their droppings and teeth marks,” they said, adding, “They will eat grains, vegetables and fruit.”
Others said you need to make sure it's an animal of some kind before calling pest control. One woman said: “Pay close attention to areas under sink cupboards where water pipes protrude. Check all doors, especially where there is access to the outside from the laundry or if there is a door to the garage. Make sure they are weatherstripped and properly sealed. Remove them all. Place the food in an airtight container or refrigerator. ”

Elsewhere, one user advised checking for entry holes that small rodents could use to get into your home, and even using bait traps if necessary. “Check for small entry points around pipe penetrations, and check the entire kitchen for further droppings in the sink area and under the pantry. Bait or snap traps can help. If it is no longer detected, please fix the entry point.”
Elsewhere, a pest expert told the Mirror one of the things people can do to rid their homes of potential rats. Gareth Davies from Pest and Property Solutions said: 'I think it's important to be sensible and not leave things on counters. The bacteria that they spread is scary. 80% of rats are in the sewers – we all know what's in the sewers.”
