Guys I have an unknown critter coming onto my porch and patio
The only thing I’ve seen of it is the poop it leaves behind
It’s about 1” long and 3/8” in diameter shaped like a capsule
Any ideas ?
I’m just getting started good screening in my porch and I don’t need any holes dug into the screen

Yep! Toad Frog.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Sounds like a frog.
Interior lights can attract them.
The under cabinet lights in my kitchen draw them to the big picture windows on my back porch.

Skink, maybe. Got a bunch on the back porch and the poop is bug exoskeletons. Got a couple of Broadheads that leave some whoppers! They crumble easily into lil pile and get whisped away in the wind.


experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

I have a few small frogs that frequent my home/garage when lights are on once in awhile. Do they attract to light? Or the bugs that are attracted to light?

My vote is skink. I have a bunch around the shop. Sometimes they'll come in the shop and turn loose a cricket just to chase it across the floor. Have seen them do it numerous times.

Ok so this is either a frog or a skink and the solution to being rid of them is to eliminate the bugs by spraying or just eliminate them

I Love having Frogs and Skinks around my house. Bug eating machines.
