  1. put salt around were you have gaps it will stop them


  2. Yes, ummm I think those are just Teenagers.

    To get "rid" of them , parents should make a list of "Chores" that need to be done around the house and tape it to the

    Frigerator

    Cupboards where the cookies are kept

    or anywhere

    else the

    "slugs" frequent.

    They will be rid of them in no time.

    As for getting slugs off the Couch and out of Bed....that may require frequent "power" outages.

    Be careful when exposing "teenage" slugs to sunshine and fresh air...it may result in smiles and muscle tone.

    Peace

  3. Salt !!!  They melt when they touch it !!

  4. When there's a GHOST, u call GHOSTBUSTERS! When there's a SLUGS, it's time for METALSLUGS!

  5. yeah I am gona go with salt

  6. salt they hate salt

  7. Leave a polite note;

    Hello there My friends. It appears you have taken a liking to my kitchen and have started to invade it. I would appreciate it if you didn't. Thanks again (_____Your name______)

    But on a serious note, You can buy slug repellent, Try putting it on your doorstep or windowcill and try to find out where they are coming from.

    Good luck.

  8. Put down a glass of beer, slugs love it, they either drown or drink themselves to death but either way problem solved

  9. Slug baits and liquid barriers can be bought at any garden store. Or try the beer and see what happens.

  10. At my friends house once, we went into the kitchen and there were slugs all over the floor. Get some slug pellets, or just sprinkle salt around the kitchen.

  11. Keep a salt pot handy...they hate it! Plus sink a half full glass of beer in the flowerbeds near the door...they love it, will fall in and get pissed, then drown! :-)

  12. salt kills slugs just try it and you,ll see they wither up and get all bubbly its gross and funny at the same time.

  13. I use Slug Killer from Wilko £1.49 for 450g, {last I bought} .

    Works on snails too.

  14. Unless they are against killing living creatures (some are, I suppose) ... just tell them slugs are one of the easiest things to get rid of. When they see one, just put salt on it. It will practically 'melt' before their eyes. Their gelatenous bodies cannot tolerate regular table salt!

    To keep them from getting in, just pour a line of salt along the border of the room ... into any cracks that might be an entry-way, etc. They also like damp places ... i.e. under the sink.

    Make sure to put a stream of salt down there too.

    Be warned though. Pouring a bit of salt directly onto a slug can be a yucky sight. They literally become a little pile of mush as you watch.

    Good luck to your parents!

  15. Salt!!!!!!

    put salt all around and where u think there gettinin!!!

  16. call an exterminator.

  17. They hate salt so loads of salt around the house, or some no more big gaps wherever the holes they are coming in through are

  18. There is slug repellent/killer that you can buy.  I would say get some and read and follow the directions.  

    Slugs do not like anything rough or sharp.  It hurts when they try to crawl over if.  They do like wet/damp areas with plants or plant material.  If there are plants right up against the house and or/dead plant material laying around, clean those up.  Then put sharp gravel around the house with NO gaps.  If drainage is an issue, get that taken care of.  

    Salt works but it's kinda gross; having to clean up the "bodies".  So does setting shallow dishes of beer around.  The slugs love beer, crawl in to get a drink and drown (or get so drunk that they drown!).

  19. SALT

  20. Make sure there is no gaps they can get into the kitchen

    Find out the direction they are coming from

    Make sure there is nothing they can live off so they may stop coming in

    and if salt helps use that =)

    Hope it helps =)

  21. Introduce a new species into the home, such as a cat.

    The wonderment of the food chain :)
