Answer 1

Don't touch them-go wash your hands! Inhaling them can lead to illness and even death. Wear rubber gloves and if possible a mask or tie a cloth over your mouth and nose. A bleach/water mix sprayed from a spray bottle can keep particles from becoming airborne as you carefully clean them up with a whisk broom and dust pan.

Answer 5

Sounds to me that you've had a mouse in the house.

Answer 6

like black rice kernels

Oh!  I didn't read the rest of your question.

You hit the description right on the nail.

Answer 7

It sounded like mouse droppings until you say they crushed in your hand, because mouse dropping don't crush, they are solid. You will usually find white papery shavings, and occasionally bits of straw mixed in with the droppings as they use these to make their nest. If they are mouse droppings they must have been there for years to become like that so I wouldn't worry.

EDIT - I don't think they are mouse droppings because mouse droppings are shaped like rice grains (almost identical to rice grains). They are not circular. It's probably just a bit of dirt.

Answer 8

BLACK BURN RICE PIECES ALMOST CRUMB LIKE.

Answer 9

From what you're describing they sound like mice droppings.. However, when you say they "crumbled" it sounds like they have been there for a while. :(

Answer 10

empty your closet and either use Warfarin in the corner of the closet or set a trap, you got a mouse in the house!

Wash all your clothes there might be droppings in them as well .

Answer 11
