seeds under couch from where?

March 30, 2010 By Tech Support Leave a Comment

I just finished vacuuming under our couch in our basement an found 2 small piles of what looked like sesame seeds. I don’t know where they came from or what they are, any ideas?

This is almost always done by some type of small animal. The most common include VOLES, SHREWS and MICE. Especially true for voles as they cover large areas and seem comfortable gaining access to a basement and then moving in and out as they wish through the day and night.

The most common source of the seed is a nearby bird feeder. Most bird seed has several “low grade” seeds included which a lot of birds don’t like. This seed will be pushed aside by feeding birds and “trashed” (not eaten). As these tiny “sesame” or round like “poppy” seeds accumulate under the feeder, their smell will attract animals like mice and voles. To prepare for “bad times”, these varmints will hoard or store the seed where they feel it will be safe. Basements inside any home are usually such a place.

Here are direct links to the information mentioned above:
