Janie Grace Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Three times now, I have come into the kitchen in the morning and there is a slug in the corner of the floor. :ack2: Same exact square of the kitchen tiles. What in the world?! Why are they coming in and how? Why do they go to the same spot? Do I mention this to my landlord or is this just normal country life?

TheCoffeeChick Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 :ack2: I don't know why or how they are coming in, but pour some salt along the corner there and they'll stay away (or it will kill them as the salt will rip their skin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 You can also place a cup of beer in the corner. That will kill them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We have millions of slugs AND snails this year in Southern Il. I don't know about them coming in the same spot...maybe they are following the other ones goo trail :) This is the first year of them for us...I saw a few here and there the past years, but this is HORRIBLE. There are hundreds all over the sidewalks and pool ewwwww They keep popping up in the house. They are better than spiders or mice though :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachmejoy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I had a problem with slugs when we lived in SC. We found out that they were coming up in the dishwasher. They could squeeze out and everything! I ran one through the cycles a few times. I don't know why, but slugs really gross me out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We found slugs heading for under our washing machine lots of nights (I hate to think of how many we missed!) Always in the same spot. Perhaps they are following a slime trail, in which I probably should have been washing the floor more often :glare: Ours were coming under the crack under our door, but we got a draft guard and we haven't seen any since.
