Grab a flashlight and a paper towel. Go on a slug hunt around 10 PM. They’re most active then, slithering across floors like tiny, gross explorers. Pluck them up (use the paper towel, obviously) and toss them outside. Or into the yard. Or into your neighbor’s garden—I’m kidding. Mostly.
Do this for a few nights in a row. You’ll break their cycle, and they’ll get the hint. It’s personal, but sometimes you have to be the boss.
Don’t Forget the Vents and Cracks
Slugs are sneaky. They can squeeze through gaps the size of a dime. Check around your baseboards, under doors, and near vents. Seal any cracks with caulk or weather stripping. Think of it like slug-proofing your house. You’re basically building a tiny fortress against invertebrates.
A draft stopper under the door is your best friend. It stops cold air and slimy freeloaders.
