Could a spider leave droppings behind? A woman took to Facebook, perplexed by the appearance of black marks scattered around her home.

Seeking advice, she posted a series of images on a Mrs. Hinch fan page, depicting peculiar black spots on her wall and skirting board.

In response, many echoed the same sentiment:

Quick to offer assistance, fellow fans of Mrs. Hinch jumped in, asserting that the markings were indeed spider droppings. “At this time of year, it’s common to find spider droppings everywhere. Dettox spray works well for it,” remarked one individual. Another added, “It’s spider poop after they’ve eaten flies.” Someone confidently identified it as “spider poo for defs,” while others suggested it could be “fly poo.”
