To flush slugs

[Romeoalpha]

Inspired by the spider in the bin thread. Conscience pricking me a bit.

I have (had) a problem with slugs in the kitchen at night. They get in somewhere behind the fitted units but I’m not sure exactly where / how.
I dropped them outside for a while but they eventually came back.

So I started to flush any I found down the toilet. The slug problem is now very much reduced. I know that to flush the slugs was not kind. But was I unreasonable?

😧😆

I pour salt on them with no hesitation. Would rather they died than my dog

I usually give them a wild ride by tossing them out the front door

I put some

Just take them outside. Probably shouldn't be introducing those different bacteria to your system anyway!

I put some in the loo and they climbed out. I wasn't prepared for that . But not sure how to solve the slug invasion. Felt mean salting them, could only throw as far as neighbours garden, so didn't know what to do for the best really.

Tossing them outside doesn't stop them coming back quickly every night.

Yuk!!!

This

I feed them to the chickens... not substantially different from flushing really.

To people saying they are good for the eco system that may be if they are actually outside in soil etc, not in my concrete jungle flat.

Eeeek! I didn't know that🤢. He was given stuff to make him sick, salt water I think.

Or did a slug crawl onto your phone?

🐌 we've been busted 🐛

I put them in the green garden refuse bin.

@figtrees
OMG send me you details and I will arrange a whip round to pay for counselling.
That is literally my worse nightmare ever.

Slug slinging is like an Olympic sport here . I've a special tiny spade for launching the buggers over neighbours fence 🤢

I pick them up with kitchen roll and put in garden bin. Our loo is upstairs and I dont want to walk through house with them.

I used to flip them over into the neighbours garden using a spatula but nicer new neighbours moved in last year and the hoarded crap the previous owners collected is no longer there.

We've been getting the odd one in our lounge and hallway 🤢. I have posted here about it. I throw them out but now I'm tempted to do this. Have used salt in past but that looks like a horrific death

This sounds like a game changer. Just wondering if I could cope with the lounge light on all night.

It makes me sad that so many people have such total disregard for an animal’s life just because they don’t like them much. Sort out the cause of the issue if you don’t want them in your house. You don’t have to kill them.

Morality aside YABU for flushing solid objects into the sewage system. They'll help create a blockage somewhere because they don't break down like bodily ejections and toilet tissue!

Can’t understand people who kill insects /molluscs because they can ! Messed up world we live in 😞 OP I am would be ashamed if I was you !

Sometimes I really, really hope that there is reincarnation with some level of Karma!

Ewww. I'd be worried they would block the drains and that I'd have to explain why it's full of dead slugs 😂

If nothing else, it's not going to be a great day if you block your pipes up with slugs.

Just put them outside like a normal person does.
