Can anyone tell me what creature am I hunting?

I have found tiny little poop pellets the size of the grain of rice. They are hard like rice. There is a small creature that comes from behind my stove. I think it is a mouse but I am not sure. It doesn’t seem to come out for food and only comes out in the dark in the middle of the night. It is not a roach either.

Their poop is different. It just seems to investigate my counter and likes to be behind my appliances. I keep all my appliances clean, so I don’t know if it is the coolness of the metal it is after. I have left food out for it as bait and it doesn’t go for any of it so I think whatever it is, it is hunting insects maybe.
Does anyone know what it may be if it is not a mouse? Traps and food is not working. I was wondering if maybe it were some sort of small lizard.
