A few days ago I placed some gear in the garage... and then later saw it had slug trails over it. I've not tried getting it out of the material yet.....
Yet also I've got other gear in my garage... metal stuff... and I could do without slug slime damaging it.
I always wondered where the slugs went before daybreak... I've just been outside at 4am and seen a convoy of them heading for the gap under my garage door.

I think it's the shelter that's bringing them in... shelter and warmth from the elements and from predators in daytime. After all.. we all remember slugs finding their way in to our tents as kids.. and they go in to rabbit hutches and all forms of sheltered places too.

No, there is nothing corrosive or dangerous about the slime they leave behind. However, Slugs and copper do not get along. Slugs get a shock from copper when their slime touches it. Copper strips are a common slug deterrent in garden beds.

YUK! I really hate slugs and snails! I don't think that the slime will cause any damage though. I have heard that some cosmetic companies use this slime in creams to help get rid of facial wrinkles. Some people will even let the slugs and snails slime across their face to get rid of the time lines! YUK!
You could put a line of salt or copper at the edge of your garage to repel/kill those ugly creatures.

Cool, now you know where those buggers hang out! No, I doubt slime is corrosive or anything like that, too much Star Trek in your background?? Probably washes off with water.

The slime won't do any damage. Something must be attracting them in. Are you brewing beer?

Is it one snail or various snails? in case you have various snails and that they are scattered throughout your vegetation, you may purchase snail bait on the backyard shop. It is obtainable in little pellets and it works. you in simple terms scatter it on the floor. in case you have dogs or cats, be optimistic to earnings the label. They form of look as though animal foodstuff (pellets). do no longer take any opportunities jointly with your pets, however.
