Hi, anybody got any ideas on how I can deal with a problem with slugs in my kitchen.?

Answer 1

Find out where they're coming in, then put down a strip of copper tape. Slugs and snails have some sort of reaction to the copper and won't cross the line.

Answer 2

Slugs like damp and cold areas.

Find out how they are getting into your kitchen. Are there any small holes in the walls, or are they sliding under the door? Is there ivy on the outside walls of the house?

When you have located the entry point sprinkle some household salt and outside on the path and surrounding areas. Its the only quick and cheap solution.

Answer 3

I know how you feel I have the same problem but some resource tell me to outline the kitchen with salt. Slug hate salt and of coarse alot of salt poured on top of them kills them.

Answer 4

find out where the slugs are entering your kitchen from the outside,as you should be able to see marks left by them.
the put down sharp sand around the area of the house and that should do the trick.snails and slugs avoid it.

Answer 5

Sprinkle salt on them,that will kill them in the house. Check with a lawn and garden center for slug treatments outside the house.

Answer 6

tell hubby/boyfriend to keep out of the kitchen! Probably best to puit slug pellets just outside back door as this is probably only place they normally get in

Answer 7

Sprinkling coffee around the door where they enter helps [ slugs hate the smell ]. Copper wire is good , [electric shock ].

Answer 8

The only way I found that we could deal with it was putting a line of salt along the doorway on the outside, sorry!

Answer 9

Fry the b*stards. Mmmm, fried slugs are a delicacy where I come from. Cook them and then try to sell them to people. You'll make millions!

Answer 10

Cat litter alon the way along the pousdie of your kitchen wall (outside not inside!) they wil not crawl over it, or broken egg shells or salt.
I used to have this problem and that sorted them
