There is a trail of this in my attic. These little oval things that almost look like skin that has shredded off or something.

You have a Squatch living in your attic.

Owlie was eating a Chimichanga there and watching you use the bathroom through the light fixture.

My guess you had a termite swarm in your attic.

Probably a king snake. Just let him be, because he'll kill all of the bad snakes up there

Those are seeds from a nearby tree

Looks like plant matter to me. Not sure why it's there though. Storm blew it in?

Interesting. They are in the middle of the attic, and a trail of them. I was thinking something was bringing them in. I've had rat traps up there for a week, and no luck on those.

Could some of that be termites? I do see some things that almost look like wings.

No. Those are a couple different types of seeds.

What trees do you have around your house?

Ou sure you don't have a bird or a squirrel trying to build a nest up there somewhere?

I'd monitor the situation closely, or you'll have a pin oak burst through your roof.

The more it sounds, it looks like I do have something like that. I walked around the house and see this stuff all over the ground, so something is bringing it in. Would rats or mice do this? Or is it more likely to be a squirrel?

The seeds that look like little flies appear to be from some type of sycamore or gum tree. I'm having a tough time remembering what tree the oval seeds come from.
