Slugs!!!!

[redglow]

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how to get rid of slugs that keep comming in my kitchen?

If you mean how do you stop them coming in, you need to make sure theres no gaps in the skirting boards and beneath the doors. They can get through the tiniest gaps. If you mean what to do with the ones you find, i pick them up in tissue and flush them down the loo. Disgusting things. I show them no mercey in my house lol.

I've tried making sure there are no gaps anywhere and still the fuckers slime in every night. Only to be gone by the morning. Seriously ninja slugs and their slimy trails all over our shoes are the bane of my life.

I can't find any gaps. I am fine with getting rid of them. I just keep finding them everywhere.

My sister had this in her kitchen...it turned out she had a serious leak going on under her kitchen....my other sister had this but she lived a couple of feet away from a stream and they were coming in under the front door. Drips of sticky copper solved the problem, they won't go over copper. You can buy it from the garden centre. Good luck!

Drips= strips!

Oh thankslolalotta just removing two now. Will get some today.

They're rank aren't they? We had an invasion of keel slugs last year. (well, I met one giant brute of a slug in the hall one morning, but that's quite enough for me. [shudder]) Apparently the burrowing slugs are more likely to come into the house in hotter, dryer weather as they're looking for burrows to sit out the better weather in.

They don't like sandpaper, the rougher it is the better. You could also try beer traps in the garden. We caught well over 100 in the first four or five days we did this, after that the numbers and the size of the slugs we were catching fell dramatically and we've not had a problem with them in the house again.

I know it Makes me cringe. Couldn't find anything in the garden centre either:(

Hopefully this should do the trick, if you can work out where they are making there entrance! Do some detective work and follow the trails, good luck!!!

Thanks for the link lolalotta pretty sure they are comming under the door.

Beer traps are awesome but are sort of secondary for your problem as they are more of a garden tool.

You can buy them from Lakeland quite cheaply. I can confirm that Sainsbury's Basics Bitter is still alcholic and potent enough to lure them in. Don't drink it though... hideous stuff.

Being thick here but what do you do with the beer? What is a beer trap?
