SLUGS IN MY KITCHEN

Ben8010 · September 2017

Got 2 slugs in my kitchen last night. Slimy, horrible buggers.

Not the first time I've had this but I thought I'd sealed the gap where they were coming in. The sneaky shits have obviously found somewhere else to get in to lodge in my kitchen. I thought word had spread throughout the slug community that if they come in my house they won't leave alive. Looks like my Friday night is gonna be spent pulling the kitchen apart and filling gaps!

I hate slugs.

Is it your house, or do you rent?

Ben8010 · September 2017

@Roland renting currently. I would contact the agent/landlord about it but they are useless.

Disappointed the first reply wasn't "what am I gonna do"

Yuk! You have my sympathy there. Could be worse though - I found Suggs in my kitchen last week. It was utter Madness tbh!

In which case you should contact your council's environmental health team.

Can't you put a ring of salt around the house? It's worked fine in 12 series of Supernatural!

Sounds like a house of fun to me

@Roland I'll see if sealing what i can in the kitchen works. If I get anymore of the little slimeballs I will attempt to see if the landlord/agent can do anything about it. If they don't I'll give what you said a try.

Were they out of a colt 45?

B'dum tish! Ha!

I wouldn't worry too much over them. I discovered years ago that slugs are good at climbing up walls etc. I find occasional ones in my house. I do have a cat flap in one of my doors, and I suspect that this is how they get in!

Incidentally, I also get the occasional bat in the house (they live in my next door neighbour's roof). They can be a bit of fun to either persuade to leave, or capture but not as per the the recent Irishman's video.

Think yourself lucky.I've got Sluts in my kitchen.

The slime trails are horrendous.

I've had slugs in the kitchen. Not been 100% sure where they came from but I think it was just the kids leaving the patio door partly open. Also had mice in the kitchen ( opened the oven door to find one sat looking at me) and had to seal any kind of gap.
