Slug Invasion

[Limited]

Okay in the evening and through the night, my kitchen is getting invaded by slugs. Just had to throw 3 out of the window. Problem with them is I might step on one which would be pretty nasty and secondly they leave the sticky snail trails behind.

So do you guys know of a way of stopping them coming in, maybe theres a type of spray I can spray the floor with?

[itszutak]

Salt kills them, but I'm not sure of a good way to remove them.

If you've got a home-improvement store (like Orchard Supply) nearby, you might find some slug poison, which I know exists.

Also, not sure if this works, but put beer in a bowl on the ground. Slugs should slide into it and drown.

[Con]

salt up the holes.

[Boba]

dump salt all over your entry points

for a double whammy do it when it's icy

[TVTyrant]

How are the slugs getting in?
I usually use a slug/snail killer in my yard when I'm gardening for my Mom. Its pretty toxic shit, but it sure does the trick. I'd just lay it at any place they could be using for entry, and then block those locations off.
Sounds gross though :ehhh:

[DEElekgolo]

Salt formations, get the salt scouts to take care of the entrances and exits. Surround all platoons and forts with salt for defense. Keep salt air strikes ready active at all times. Mine the place with salt on firecrackers. Wash them out with saltwater in the midst of battle. Defend your nom noms at all cost!

are you sure you have a penis :S

also what are they coming in for, food? what?

also Beer traps work a treat. just fill a little container with beer and bury it so the sides are level with the ground.

they fall in and cant get out, but honestly what a way to go :D

[Con]

If they fall in and can't get out, why does it need beer. Are they attracted to it?

Invasion of slugs you say? Sounds like this one book I read called Orphanage...it was a tribute to Starship Troopers, only it had space slugs instead of bugs...was actually a good book.

there obsessed with the smell of it.

I thought the title was referring to a game. :(

Would have made a nice "fast paced" rts game.

[t3h m00kz]

Slugs are pretty harmless, just put them outside.

[n00b1n8R]

salty milk, then cook and sell them to elitist snobs!!

[ExAm]

Salt doesn't actually kill them. If you salt a slug, it'll appear to wither. Walk away for a while, and when you come back it'll be gone. You need a pretty large amount of salt to kill a slug.

[n00b1n8R]

No, see the slug drinks the milk (<33's milk) and the milk is salty which makes it thirsty so it drinks more till it gets lolfat.

Then you pick it up and cook it.
Works for snails too

I have no idea why the slugs are coming in, but it means we gotta clean the floor alot which sucks.

As for the salt idea, meh I dunno I kinda want to stop them coming in, once their in Im not fussed and will throw them out which, its just annoying.

Sadly I got no idea how they are getting in, there are cupboards under the window that are free standing so theres a big gap underneath.

Also beer idea sounds like a huge waste of good beer :)

Cheers for suggestions, probably going to find hole they come in and block it up with salt.

[n00b1n8R]

cheep beer then.
If they don't drink it, give it to visitors you don't like!

[ICEE]

As long as their not the kind that crawl in your ear and control your mind. I read some disturbing literature about that... (http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/ath/Library/bookreviews/Animorphs.jpg)

The salt blockade sounds like the best idea, beer traps work best outside when theres a place to bury them.

[Syuusuke]

Take a golf club...and swing away.

[p0lar_bear]

You should probably try PK Rockin α (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4cI3ZymZEs).

If you don't know how to do it yet, go back into town and beat up some pogo punks, runaway dogs, and spiteful crows until you realize it.

Well we were invaded again earlier lol. Two on the floor and one hanging from the window frame. I initially threw them outside, but then me and my housemate agreed exterminating them would be the best thing as they would have probably kept coming back. Tried boiling water, didnt really hurt them much, tried salt didnt work. So I picked up a garden chair and pulverised it with the chair leg.

[DEElekgolo]

Fire?

[thehoodedsmack]

Eww... a chair? Now your chair'll be all messy. Sounds like you could have some fun with this, though! Take a baseball bat, some goggles, and aim away from the house. >:3

This actually works. They said so on Martha Stewart. {And before anyone makes any clever remarks, I was in fact learning how to make the perfect sandwich.}

[Ki11a_FTW]

a few years ago we had a lot of slugs getting into the kitchen, but we didnt do really anything about it and they stopped :|

[Mr Buckshot]

Capture a bunch of these slugs alive, then slip them inside someone's backpack or onto someone's bed as a prank.

[n00b1n8R]

catch one and get your room mate to stick it up your ass.
the fuckers are drawn to your prostate and the wriggle all over it.
feels good man.

[legionaire45]

Last I checked, you'd need to shove it up your dick for it to get to your prostate. With one of those things they use to load cannons.

Unless of course you expect it to eat through your colon/internal organs and get to it that way.

@Limited: At least it's not these:

[LunawolfGirl]

Holy fucking shit.

[Limited]

Holy fucking shit.
Too right...I'm assuming they are those African Snails, they get huge.

I'd try the baseball bat routine but I dont have one. I havent seen any since the massacre so I think I scared them off.

legionnaire, I dont think you understand how the doctors give a prostate exam.

[FRain]

BB guns.

So fucking hilarious.

I didn't get the reference at first.

[Limited]

Eat them.
Thats snails, silly.

[Limited]

oh, I thought ascargots were slugs :/
Escargots are prodominainly snails and are bred for eating.

Snails are just snails.

[p0lar_bear]

Catch them all and keep them as pets.

e: sell them to little kids for a quarter.

[Limited]

These motherfuckers are back.

Cant be arsed to pick them up, throw outside and go stomp them. Its late and raining outside.

Nearly stepped on the fat one whilst getting a drink, the long one is hanging on a wall.

[DEElekgolo]

Fire.

[StankBacon]

wtf, kill them.

[DEElekgolo]

KILL THEM ALL!

[DrunkenSamus]

FedEx them to France.

[legionaire45]

Napalm.

[Chainsy]

Put peanut butter on all the cracks in your kitchen, 5 bucks the slugs will be gone by the end of the week along with the peanut butter. :)

[n00b1n8R]

cover in oil
burn it

[CoRg_ThA_sTuDeNt]

salt works but you need fuckloads

it dehydrates them, they sort of turn inside out though so it can be kind of messy

[mech]

Ask them to leave.

[Huero]

Raise their rent to ridiculous rates until they're forced to leave due to the economy in search of a cheaper home.

[Corndogman]

Ask them to leave.

It's so simple. Why do we jump to violent means?

[legionaire45]

Deport them back to xxxxxxxxxxx.

[p0lar_bear]

sell them to little kids for a quarter [each].

quotin' dis cause it's the best idea in the thread

[t3h m00kz]

agreed

Again, slugs are actually harmless. I'd say don't kill them unless you absolutely have to. We've had a few in the house, it's real simple to just pick them up and put them outside. They tend to cling to whatever they're sliding across though..

If you leave one on your hand for long enough chances are it'll probably start trying to chew on it, lol

Shit feels wierd.

[cheezdue]

I almost stepped on one of them today. He was making his long trip into my garden making this oozy trail behind him...fascinating stuff.

[Limited]

Problem is those buggers keep coming back. Had 4 more there earlier. Its becoming a big problem, probably going to have to tell the landlord then they can sort it.

[Donut]

im gonna go with DEE on this one. if you end up killing them, at least TRY fire and see what happens. better than crushing them with a blunt object. jesus, shit must get everywhere.

[Cortexian]

Just do the beer thing near the entrances to your house.
