How to Stop Slugs Getting in House
Slugs aren’t just looking for water. They’re hungry little monsters. What’s in your house that smells delicious to a slug? Pet food is a big one. So are crumbs under the fridge. And that forgotten banana peel in the trash.
Take the garbage out every night. Every. Single. Night. Vacuum or sweep before bed. Put pet bowls away after dinner. If they smell nothing, they have no reason to explore. It’s like taking away the free buffet at a casino. They’ll just leave.
The Beer Trick (That Actually Works)
You’ve heard this one, right? Sink a shallow container of beer into the ground (or just leave it on the floor if you’re indoor-only). Slugs love the yeast. They crawl in, get drunk, and drown. It’s a pleasant way for them to go, honestly.
But here’s the catch: you have to empty it every morning. Nobody wants a stale, slug-filled beer cup sitting around. And don’t use expensive IPA. Use the cheap, fizzy stuff from a can. They don’t have taste buds. They’re slugs.
