Office Plant Soil Digging: Mouse, Slug, or Cat?

Office Pothos and Schefflera: hole dug near roots daily, soil on desk. Moving one plant stopped it. Emptied Pothos — no mole found. Started after fresh soil added. No rodent droppings. Past squirrel issues.

Likely Culprits

  • Mouse: Hole size? Most probable.
  • Slug: Burrows in soil, but doesn't scatter soil on desk.
  • Cat: Hidden in rafters? Digs in plants.

Detective Work

  • Set video camera overnight.
  • Try live trap in pot.
  • Hole size = clue.
