Answer 1

Contact your landlord.  

Answer 2

if they like your rug chuck it out or just put salt on every entrance/exit  and 4 and 1 yr olds wont mind abit of salt

Answer 3

slugs love beer, if u put some in a pot they will fall into it. Im not sure this is the best solution with kids around though.  

Answer 4

leave a long line trail of salt where they enter your house, they will not cross it

Answer 6

Other than contacting the owner or landlord use salt..they dont like it hahaha..OOPS SORRY..regards

Answer 7

They will be coming in under either the back or front door.  At night, after the children have gone to bed put a line of salt (using plenty of salt) across each threshold.  You'll have to do this every night as the slugs keep coming back.  I wouldn't recommend slug pellats in case the children get to them.

Answer 8

pest control, call ur landlord and tell him there is a problem
