Hi all,

I keep on finding clusters of small black dots no more than 1mm in size appearing on work surfaces in the office and kitchen. Please see the attached image below.



I have posted in All Creatures Great & Small as I'm sure they may be eggs or droppings of some sort! Any ideas?

Cheers,
Lund

Is there a spider's web somewhere above it?

Possibly.

It's a farm house so more than likely!

It's really nothing to worry about.

There were three similar cases in isolated farm houses in Siberia last month. The dots grew and grew, joined up and then...








You'll be fine.

Cheers, more than likely. There are thousands of flies with it being a farm!

Apparently it’s news to some high quality publications that spiders crap in the house - do you think we should tell them about the bears?
