What Does Rat Poop Look Like?

Bug Buster Gold Coast29 Nov, 2025Pest Control

Rat poop is small, dark, and pellet-shaped, usually about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long with pointed ends. Fresh droppings look shiny and black, while older ones turn gray and crumbly. They are often found in clusters rather than single pieces. You’ll commonly spot them along walls, in cupboards, behind appliances, or near food sources. Noticing these droppings is a strong sign of rat activity in your home.
