  1. Into your kitchen?! Close the door at night :P

    Seriously though, I have no idea how they get into your kitchen but secure the place and put like repellents there.  


  2. U need to seal round your door and any other openings with a waterproof filler, unibond etc., laying a strip of copper will deter them as it acts like a force field conducting other electrical frequencies in the area.  Sprinkle salt, baking soda or washing soda crystals over the floor near the door. Crushed glass, eggshell or crockery will provide a rough surface outside which they dislike. Good luck!

  3. urgh don't you have doors?

  4. Slug pellets are very.very effective.Sprinkle around the garden and kitchen when it's been wet and watch them go down faster than the Somme

  5. put down broken egg shells .they do not like walking on them

    good luck h

  6. Place a Tray of alcohol Near to your washing machine. this will attract the slugs away from your washing machine. slugs and snails love alcohol.

    just Cheap stuff say 1.00 & Can.

  7. Salt (: like everyone said. ;D

  8. first off..How do they get in your house??? pour salt around the place wear they do get in..The salt dries them in out causing them to die... or... you could sit up all night and stab them with a s***w driver....

  9. Slugs are like men they like beer so leave some beer in a glass where they can get at it they will be so tempted they will go after the beer and leave your cupboards alone.  

  10. Put a wide copper strip around your door frame and step. They hate that! or emply my 79 year old Mother she'll stomp em to death!

  11. put beer in a container...or row off eggs shells they don't cross it..or glass..

  12. make lines of Salt , so they cant cross them

  13. Slugs are outdoor creatures  How do they get indoors.? Pellets and salt will see them   off but you have to make sure  there is no way they can get in from outside ...      

  14. SALT! and lots of it lol, pour salt on them and watch them melt ha ha.

  15. Slugs can squeeze through tiny gaps, if you have a damp problem then they will thrive! If you have floorboards and your floor is hang...beams over the soil, with the floorboards attached, large gaps in the floorboards can be the entrance, then again pipe outlets to the washing machine may not be sealed around the pipe again used for access. Check for gaps!

      A humidifier will make your home into slug paradise unless you close their access!
