I have found 5 small piles of sun flower and small yellow seeds (like miniature popocorn seeds) in different rooms of my house. Each pile consists of about 30-40 seeds. They are not very well hidden, but are found behind or under something. We have yet to find a second pile in any one room. Weird.
Im thinking its a chipmunk... or Im living in the next M Knight Shamaylan movie!

Probably a rodent of some type, though chipmunks are not normally in homes, you are describing their habit of storing seeds from about mid July through the fall until they hibernate in their burrows. I would use a Hav-A-Heart type cage trap to remove it. Try placing an apple in the cage, and if caught, then dispose of it as you see fit. Look for any holes it may be using to gain access to your house from the outside where it is gathering the seeds. If you find it, place the trap near the entrance. If you can't locate it, put the trap where you located it's last stockpile of seeds.

I'd set up a hidden camera in the rooms where the seeds "pop up", ASAP! You'll find out what's going on for sure.
