I get varmints nesting in the garage over winter... usually they're gone by the time I clen up in spring.

Closest thing to what you encountered happened when I went to get some potting siol for a new houseplant. It had been on the deck in a shelving unit with other outside stuff.. Opened the bag and got accosted by a FROG! little guy was sleeping in the dirt!
I gently placed him down in the yard under the deck where it's cool and damp...

Nature always finds a way, doesn't it?
