slugs

[Angie169]

Is there any way to stop slugs getting into my house , I have no idea where they get in.
I can not put poison down due to pets .

I find if I keep my lights on they don’t come in.
I know people swear by copper tape didn’t work for me

thank you I have not heard about keeping the lights on but as I only ever see the trails when I come down in the morning that may work for me .
I thought about using copper tape but I would have to know where they get in to make that work.

I have been having fat girls in my kitchen. I discovered they were getting through an airbrick on the outside wall. I put pellets around that and through the gaps in the original floor boards. I do have two cats but they are canny creatures.
I haven't seen a slug since.

[Angie169]

Hmm I have a couple of air bricks they may be getting in there . ( i have stone floors ) I can not use poison as I have a ferret and he occasionally eats / plays with slug and snails

[Monty27]

Use a knife or something to feed the pellets through the airbrush. I haven't even seen a dead one. How would they get through a strong floor though? Skirting boards?

[Monty27]

And then there's the plate of beer or even salt. Horrible I know but needs must.

[LemonysSnicket]

Salt. In cupboards, by windowsills etc.

That should have read airbrick and stone floor
Not airbrush and strong floor
Probably obvious but just making sure.
I am glad you didn't judge me lemony.
Why do the slimy gits want to come indoors anyway? Have they no house of their own to go to?

[Angie169]

thanks for all the ideas , I have tried keeping the lights on , it seems to work but it is early days yet .

They are the posh ones with plenty of money , they are called snails

I have salted the outside of the house all round. I know it's horrible but I really can't cope with the disgusting creatures in my kitchen.

And whoever said keep the lights on, I'm going to start doing that too!

And what just put 1 pellet in each hole of the air Brick?
