Default Deteriated Styrofoam Under Car

I have what appears to be tiny white Styrofoam ***** that are coming from under my XKR, all over the garage floor. Any ideas where it is coming from? Seems to be quite a lot. I can't get under it to look.

Not aware of any used anywhere on the X150. There's 2 dark grey ones in the front bumper but they're quite solid/dense.

Hmmmmmmm. Back when I was in college, we filled a guy's car through the sunroof with styrofoam packing peanuts as a prank (well actually we put a bunch of empty boxes in first so that it would look like it was full). You wouldn't happen to be in some kind of fraternity or something would you?

Maybe just blown in on the wind?
I get a lot of leaves this time of year.

I don't know where it's coming from. Glad it's not from the car. Maybe mice.

I have a little mouse hotel by one of the front tires of all my cars. Inside is replaceable poison bricks that dogs cannot access. I also have "Predator Eyes" on all four corners of the shed under a window as they are solar. In 15 years not a mouse to speak of. Now my garage where I store my shell corn and bird feed is a different story. I use traps instead of poison as dead mice laying around the house not so good. If you have styrofoam debri on your garage floor you have a mouse in the house. If the debri is under your car it is likely the mouse is possibly riding along with you when you go to get milk.

Don't the bumpers have styrofoam supports under them? That would be where you're getting the beads from.
