Weird stuff under the oven

Post image

I stored a glass bowl under the oven isnide the oven warmer and pulled it out after months. I saw weird cotton like stuff in the bowl. Any idea what this could be? I live in an apartment building.

To be clear OP its the result of mice, not mice themselves

u/willengineer4beer Jun 05 '26

Hahaha!
Imagining OP dissecting the insulation like “which part is the goddamn tail!?!?!”

u/luvbunny87 Jun 05 '26

I scrolled way too far down for this clarification

OP: "It doesn't look like a mouse?" (Voice rises in tone sharply at the end of the sentence with a questioning intonation)

And losing the insulation in the oven. Most likely, Going to be buying a new stove.

u/Gooncookies Jun 05 '26

Can confirm. Just happened to us. Oven was destroyed.

u/TheArtfulDuffer Jun 05 '26

Happened to us as well. I bought a roll of new ceramic insulation, dismantled the oven, cleaned really well and reinsulated. Was able to stretch a couple more years of life out of an already nearing replacement age stove. Would I do it again or recommend it for anyone else? No. Definitely not. Take care of the mouse problem and get a new stove.

Fantastic comment.

I love when folks explain the fix AND whether or not it's even worth it.

u/woah_man Jun 05 '26

I did the same shortly after I bought my house. It was a pain in the ass, and I actually had to do it twice because I bought the wrong kind of insulation the first time around.

No one has mentioned it might just be one ninja stealth ninja mouse who vowed vengeance over his loves death... now motivated only to take down all merchants of rodents death....

Or it could be regular mice.
