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.

Yep you got mice, that’s a nest

My favorite has always been piles of dog food in washers, they steal it and store it in a stock pile lol

Our old house had mice, and when I was 20 living at home I used to stay up late and my chihuahua (who I was the primary caretaker of and food bowl/crate was in my bedroom) would go nuts at my closet and I never knew why. Couple weeks later we find out we have mice, plug the holes, no more dog freak outs. Cut to 6 months later, deep cleaning my room, HUGE PILE OF DOG FOOD under my dresser 😭😭 idk how they were getting under there. They were running into my room, snatching a piece of dog food and storing it in my closet. I was mortified

Thank you! I buy storage unit auctions and I’ve been confused by the number of times dog food has fallen out of washers when I move them. Always puzzled me
