I have been in attics that were completely covered. Squirrels also leave a lot of poop behind. Depending on the size and the age of the squirrel that is in your attic. Generally squirrel poop is about the size of a seed it is about a half inch long and about 1-3 cm thick.

If you were trying to identify squirrel poop or trying to figure out how you can tell if you do indeed have squirrels in the attic (based on the poop that's on the insulation), you're going to look for the following distinguishing factors. But if you see the squirrel droppings that look like seeds, a little oval, and there is no white at the end of it then you are more than likely dealing with squirrels and rats. If you look at the droppings in the attic or around your house and you see a white tip at the end of the dropping that is most likely a reptile dropping. If the squirrel droppings are very soft and mushy then chances are it is very fresh. If the squirrel poop is very dry and brittle chances are that the squirrel poop is not fresh. Squirrel poop or squirrel feces is generally black. How big are squirrel droppings? Squirrel poop is about the size of a staple and about 1-3 cm in length squirrel feces or squirrel poop will look a lot like a black seed. Some of the biggest questions customers ask me in the field are: What kind of feces is this? How can I tell what kind of animal left these droppings in my attic? How do I know whether or not this poop is indeed squirrel feces and not rat poop or raccoon poop or opossum poop? There a lot of distinguishing factors when it comes to determining squirrel poop, as you can tell from the pictures on this page.
