Diving Deeper into the Mystery

Tarin’s appeal to the online community quickly gained traction. The strange piles caught the attention of many, gathering over 440,000 reactions and more than 9000 comments. Despite the massive interest, no one could definitively identify the mysterious mounds. People had plenty of theories, though. Some believed it might be an ant colony, especially tenacious and elusive. Others guessed it was mouse droppings, yet another group suggested it could be termite waste. Taking all of these suggestions to heart, Tarin opted to consult professionals for a precise diagnosis.

To her surprise, the pest control experts she contacted were equally puzzled. Neither of the two agencies had encountered anything like the mysterious heaps before.
