Slugs in utility room.

[rfisher]

Keep finding slugs on the wall in the utility room, which is nice.

Can't see where they are coming in from.

Chief suspect is the back door, but it could also be the dryer vent, although this is blcked up with thick paper and covered outside as well.

Anyone had this?

Can the slimy feckers slip through small holes - maybe even the keyhole?

I had a similar problem but with snails. Turned out the bottom corner of a window frame was rotten and they were squeezing (well, didn't actually need that much squeezing due to the amount of rot!) through. Cut out the rot, fixed the hole and now no more snails.

They probably liked the rot in the hole as it was nice and damp. You just need to try and find the point of entry and block them off.

Pour some salt at suspected entry points.

We were getting that. Turned out the double glazed door frame had a gap underneath the bottom part. Been there since new and explained a draught I could not be bothered to track down and the slugs.

Pick them up and put them in another room. You no longer have a slug problem in the utility room.

Brilliant...

Or sell them to France.

Just a thought...

Are you sure you aren't inadvertently carrying the slugs into your utility room in your underpants?

Commando all the way.

You're flicking them through my letterbox aren't you?

Oooooooooh matron.

Sprinkle the buggers with salt
