Can a spider excrete? A woman voiced her confusion at seeing a pair of black droppings strewn throughout her home on Facebook and sought advice. She uploaded a collection of pictures to a Mrs. Hinch fan page, showing strange black dots on her wall and skirting board.
“Does anyone know what this is?” She enquired.”Appeared somewhere in the past week or so on the dining room skirting board, as well as in small amounts on the daily swept floor and wallpaper! Although it appears to be a paint splatter, it is not uneven. She went on.
Spider poo on the skirting of a home
Following them, many had the same response: spider poo
Commenters all agreed that it was indeed, spider poo
Other fans of Mrs. Hinch quickly stepped in to save the day, with commenters adamantly declaring that the markings were, in fact, the droppings of spiders. “This time of year, it’s common to see spider droppings everywhere. Dettox spray works well for it,” one person commented.Another person said, “It’s spider poop after they’ve eaten flies.” I reach over to my window sill. One person was certain that it was “spider poo for defs,” while others suggested it might have been “fly poo.”
What are the opinions of experts?
Several websites that provide pest advice state that spiders usually leave behind thick, liquid excrement that resembles dark ink marks rather than solid droppings. These inscriptions are frequently seen on surfaces and buildings.
