A mother turned to Facebook after finding mysterious black specks on her skirting boards, walls, and floors, wondering if they were spider droppings. She described them as flat, paint-like splatters appearing suddenly despite daily cleaning.

Mrs. Hinch fans quickly chimed in, confirming it was likely spider feces, often seen this time of year. Some noted it resembles dark ink stains and suggested cleaning with Dettol. Experts agree spider droppings are liquid, not solid, and often accumulate beneath webs or in dark corners.

Though not proven harmful, it’s wise to handle spider poop with caution, clean it promptly, and prevent reoccurrence by removing webs and maintaining cleanliness. For severe issues, professional pest control may be needed.
