I have a cat, so need to be careful about usual cure of sprinkling salt about the skirting boards.

May well invest in a new dehumidifier - can anyone recommended a good quiet one that will allow sleep?

Any bug busting suggestions?

Would be up for a nice brunette to get down with some nice bug stomping action.....

Slugs (& snails) are weird, I see them and the slime trails they leave behind heading up the gable ends of the house towards the apex...can't imagine what the little fookers are going to do once they get there as the birds always get to them first

I have a couple of trails in my fireplace just now that need cleaned off, little feckers must have came down the chimney.

Erm... A slug is referred to as a 'Gastropod Mollusc', not a 'bug' or an 'insect', it has it's very own branch. HTH

Xog will be along soon to tell you to leave them alone.

I have them coming into the kitchen during the non-winter months.....

Really nasty little creatures.

Back when I lived in an old terraced house up in York, I used to get loads of slugs in the kitchen. Tried the salt thing after reading that they can smell (?) it and it's meant to work well as a slug repellant. Well, it didn't work as intended and I ended up with a lot of semi-dissolved (and very smelly) slug corpses.

Quite right!!

We used to get the occasional slug on our living carpet before we had a conservatory built. Now the conservatory gets woodlice and I have to go round rescuing them. The conservatory is well built and I have searched high and low without success for anywhere they could possibly be getting in. Sure they must have little Startrek type transporters.
