Slugs in the house!

[BettyButterknife]

Is there any way to get rid of them? Please say yes... They come out at night and colonise the kitchen floor - it's hideous :(

copper tape ,ive heard they dont like it

We have the same in DD bedroom, can see the little trails along the red carpet grrr

We have that in our kitchen too. Been really bad with all the rain this year.

we had a concrete slab poured in the ground floor

bit epic, admittedly

How do they get in? I too am freaked out by trails on carpet, over chairs and the stuff on our sideboard. Also have stepped on a few (((baaarf))).

I had this issue big time in the kitchen and less so in the lounge. I actually saw one squeezing through the seal in the double glazing door!!!! ugh.
I put HUNDREDS of slug pellets under the dishwasher (trails all up the back and top of that - vom) cooker (ditto - arrggghh) and under all the kitchen cupboards. there is a cavity under the cupboards behind the base board thing. also we salted massively around all the air bricks outside and around all the doors. They squeeze up through the floor boards, and you could take some up around the edges of the room and put pelets under them too. the pellets have definitely lessened but not iradicated the problem. I have found them less prolific than previous years definitely.

i read they can squeeze themselves through gaps as thin as a piece of paper....
some of them seemed to be able to go through salt.

ARRGGHHH!

Oh god, the whole of our downstairs is like this.

The slimy little fecking bastards.

I have no idea where they get in.

How can they be so active at night? In the morning it looks like they've been partying on speed.

We have this too. Makes me cringe!

Can't imagine what they're coming in for? It's not as if we grow rows of lettuce in the kitchen!!

We have them here - I used to put salt down but it made such a mess. Just live with it now and turn the lights on if I come down in the night so I don't tread on them.

So glad we're not the only ones plagued by these monsters! Might try the pellets and the salt. They really are vile.

Anyone tried nematodes?

Nematodes are good for keeping entire population down, but won't eradicate them. I find SAS (Slugs and Snails) spray really good, but you do have to reapply it after it rains which is a pain. But it does work.

We used to have them in the living room. A brush thingy attached to the bottom of the door plus a sheep style additional draught excluder do the trick to keep them out. In our case it was very simple although it took me a few years to find this was waht was needed. More difficult if they have multiple entrances tho.

we had this too:revolting,isn't it? Read on internet that they follow their trails to go out,and always same. I put lots of salt round where the trails ended,and in meter reading cupboard at front porch,which seemed likely point of ingress. It worked! No more yucky slug trails in morning.
