Not sure if this is more appropriate for this board or the Outdoor Board. I have some sort of critter that's been getting into my garage. Not tearing anything up but leaving droppings. Based on my research I think it's either a possum or a skunk. Anyone had a rodent with droppings similar to these?

I suspect it's coming in through a hole somewhere so this evening I plan to take everything out and patch up any holes with plywood. In the event that I need a trap, which traps have yall had luck with?

Hard to tell from the picture. Can you provide length and diameter of the feces?

Toad frog

Those suckers can drop a massive turd relative to body size.

Wow. I just googled toad frog droppings - yall are exactly right. I had no idea. And I have seen a few of them around the house.

I appreciate it Any tips on getting rid of them? Or just try to patch up any holes. That makes much more sense than a larger critter getting inside the garage.

This board always comes through

They just hang around and eat bugs. Why do you want to get rid of them?

Just don’t want them pooping in the garage But it’s certainly better than a possum or something
