Slugs, Damp, mould, shitty house

I am so fed up and absolutely fuming! Been getting into our landlord for over a year about repairs needed on our house. I am repeatedly finding slugs everywhere. Thought they were coming in my front door so my stepdad fixed that, but I just found one on my 7 month olds playmat! Evicted the little fcker but I’m so fed up. We have our presents underneath the tree so the little sh* has probably been near those too! What the hell can I do apart from posting them in my landlords postbox? And would I get in any trouble for doing so??😂
We have text the landlord several times regarding damage in the property and even spoken to our agent but no one seems to care. I’m absolutely fuming 🤬

We get slugs as well they come through the air bricks. We put a ring of slug pellets or salt around all the outside walls (outside obviously) and that stops them as they cant get in

Occasional Slug through the air brick here too. Salt outside works.

I found copper wire worked in the past, they don't like sliding over it. Also fill in any gaps with expanding foam.

Had a house in the past with 10+ a week checking into the damp kitchen, before we stopped them coming in. Kept everything in there in plastic and they mainly left the rest of the house alone.

Dont fill in air bricks with expandable foam they are there for ventilation and if you have damp md mould problems the landlord will not fix it if you have blocked the ventilation, they will say you caused it.
