mouse droppings

Tiny pest evidence

Mouse droppings are the fecal pellets left by mice—small, dark, rod-shaped bits typically found where mice have been active.

Their presence indicates infestation: We found mouse droppings in the pantry.

The term is almost always plural; a single pellet would just be called a dropping.
