If you notice these mysterious black dots in your kitchen, it’s important to understand what they signify

Fortunately, other Facebook users were quick to provide an answer, though it wasn’t the one she was likely hoping for.

“Take a closer look, you’ll probably find a spider,” one person commented. Another added, “It’s pretty common this time of year—spiders leaving droppings everywhere.”

According to the “Pest Guidance” website, spiders don’t leave solid droppings; instead, their waste is a thick liquid resembling dark ink stains, often found on walls and surfaces.

“Their droppings appear as splatters or drips in shades of black, brown, white, or grey,” the site explains. “The type or color of the waste depends on the species, but in most cases, you’ll notice dark splats or drips. These are a mix of food waste and other byproducts from the spider’s body.”

I must admit, I had no idea about spider droppings. Did you? Let us know in the comments.
